I remember a practice question that was similar, and it was definitely about having a backup plan, which sounds like a contingent strategy to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but it feels like it could also be an external risk response since they're involving a different company.

I think this might be a contingent response strategy since they have a specific plan if the vendor is late.

This looks like a straightforward question on estimating project durations. I think the key is to remember the different techniques we've learned, like analogous and parametric estimating.
