An adjustment to the project has been approved and funding granted, but the project manager feels the modification is out of scope. Which of the following should the project manager do?

Rejecting an approved and funded adjustment unilaterally is beyond the project manager's authority and could lead to conflict and project delays.

Refusing to implement an approved change is an unacceptable response for a project manager and would indicate a lack of adherence to project governance.

While making the adjustment is correct, simply waiting for another review without documenting the specific concern misses an opportunity for formal risk and scope management.

Since the adjustment has already been approved and funded, the project manager's responsibility is to execute the approved change. However, documenting the concern about it being out of scope is crucial for change control, future scope discussions, and maintaining an accurate project history, potentially leading to a formal scope update or clarification.
