Correct answer: Inform the project sponsor of the two-week delay and replan activities to minimize delays..
Why this is the answer
The project manager should inform the project sponsor of the delay and replan activities because the sponsor needs to be aware of significant project impacts, and replanning is necessary to mitigate the delay's effects. This ensures transparency and allows for strategic decisions. Issuing an internal change request for resources is premature; the sponsor needs to be informed first, and the delay is not an internal resource issue. Asking the receiving manager to issue a change request is incorrect; the project manager is responsible for managing project timelines and issues. Proceeding with delivery on schedule when the receiving team isn't ready would lead to a failed handover and potential project failure.
