Validate supplier acceleration assumptions before shortening the integrated schedule. This response addresses another situation in the same task area: A construction program's supplier promises delivery six weeks earlier without changing its capacity plan. There, unsubstantiated optimism should not become a committed baseline.

15 working days — This adds A, B, and C sequentially, but A and B run in parallel.

6 working days — This counts only the longest predecessor and omits the required five days of task C.

9 working days — This uses the four-day predecessor rather than waiting for the six-day predecessor before task C.
