I vaguely recall that we shouldn't just jump to change requests without assessing the impact first. Is that what we should do here?

I'm not sure, but I feel like option D could be a good move if we really want to meet the deadline. More resources might help.

This is a tough call. I'll need to consider the client's needs, the team's capacity, and the overall project goals to decide the best course of action.
