Correct answer: D
Explanation
When serious delays from an international supply chain crisis affect project phases and team members suggest revisiting planned phases, the project manager should assess and consolidate project phases and update the project management plan. Restructuring phases maintains value delivery. Developing a contingency plan (A) is one aspect but does not address phase restructuring. Updating the schedule alone (B) does not address phase consolidation. Meeting with the sponsor (C) informs but does not solve the problem.
