Reference answer

My immediate priority would be to understand the root cause of the delay. This involves clarifying the specific reasons, whether they stem from changing requirements, underestimation of complexity, unexpected technical hurdles, shifts in team capacity, or reprioritization due to other urgent matters.

Concurrently, I would assess the impact of the delay by identifying all dependencies, external commitments (like marketing campaigns), and the overall business consequences. This comprehensive understanding allows for informed decision-making and proactive problem-solving to mitigate further risks and get the project back on track.
