Correct answer: Facilitate a risk workshop with all stakeholders in attendance to identify and assess all risks to the project, Log the concern as a risk in the project risk register and assess the impact and severity of the risk.
Why this is the answer
The project manager should facilitate a risk workshop and log the concern as a risk. A risk workshop engages stakeholders to proactively identify and assess potential threats and opportunities, including schedule conflicts like the budget planning period. Logging the concern in the risk register ensures it's formally documented, analyzed for impact and probability, and tracked for appropriate response planning. Advising the sponsor that feasibility cannot be determined is dismissive and unhelpful. Changing the implementation date prematurely without analysis is an uncontrolled response. Stating the implementation date is low risk without assessment is irresponsible and lacks data.
