Explanation

A delay on the critical path directly extends the overall project end date, so the project schedule must be updated to reflect the new timeline. The risk register also needs updating because a critical-path delay either materializes a previously identified risk or reveals a new risk (e.g., downstream tasks being delayed, missing contractual deadlines, cost overruns). The project scope does not change because of a schedule delay. The project charter is a high-level founding document not updated for schedule changes. An incident response plan applies to security/operational incidents. The communication plan defines how stakeholders are notified but is not updated because of a task delay.
