Why each option

International projects face unique challenges related to coordination across time zones, higher travel expenditures, and communication difficulties caused by language differences.

ATime zonesCorrect

Time zones create scheduling and communication challenges because team members in different regions may have limited overlapping working hours, slowing decision-making and coordination.

BTravel costsCorrect

Travel costs are significantly higher in international projects due to long-distance flights, lodging, and logistics, which can strain the project budget and limit resource availability.

CCo-location of resources

Co-location of resources improves collaboration and communication, making it a benefit rather than an adverse impact on project completion.

DThe project plan

A project plan is a tool that guides project execution and is not a factor that adversely impacts project completion.

EScheduled vacations

Scheduled vacations affect any project regardless of whether it is international and are managed through standard resource planning, making them not uniquely significant to international projects.

FLanguage barriersCorrect

Language barriers can cause miscommunication, misinterpretation of requirements, and documentation errors, all of which can derail international project success.
