Why this is the answer
The correct answer is to assess the consequences of noncompliance with relevant stakeholders and update the risk register with agreed actions. This is the most proactive and responsible approach. The project manager must understand the impact of new legal requirements, involve stakeholders for their expertise and buy-in, and formally document the risk and mitigation plans. Agreeing to apply requirements to a future project is irresponsible and could lead to legal issues. Requesting a dedicated PMO resource is a reactive, long-term solution that doesn't address the immediate problem. Stopping the project is an extreme measure that causes delays and cost overruns without a clear path forward.
