In this situation, it's important for the project manager to engage in open and transparent communication with the client. Since the client is willing to increase the budget to expedite the project, discussing alternative approaches to deliver a minimal viable product (MVP) within the client's desired timeframe is a pragmatic solution. The project manager can explore phased delivery, prioritizing essential features for the initial release and deferring less critical functionalities to subsequent phases. This allows the project to meet the client's urgent needs while ensuring a more realistic timeline for the entire project. Open communication about project constraints and possibilities is crucial for managing client expectations effectively.
