"Let me run some numbers in a simulation, and get back to you tomorrow."
"Considering the uncertainty in scope, I estimate three months."
"Give us two months. We will knock it out just like the project that we are closing now."
"If it truly resembles this project we are closing, it could be six to ten weeks."
A project was estimated to cost $100,000 with a timeline of five months. Due to some unusual causes, the schedule was delayed. At the end of the third month, the project manager reviews the project and finds that the project is 40 percent complete and Actual Costs are $60,000. Assuming that the cost variations observed to date would not continue going forward, the Estimate to Complete (ETC) for the project are:
