Explanation

An assumption is a factor that is considered to be true, real, or certain for planning purposes without proof or demonstration. Weather is an assumption because you are presuming certain weather conditions will (or will not) occur during construction - it is uncertain and unconfirmed. Deadlines for project milestones and a predetermined program budget are constraints, not assumptions - they are fixed limitations imposed on the project. Building codes are regulatory requirements, which are also constraints the project must comply with, not assumptions.
