Answer:

Crashing

Explanation:

The scenario perfectly explains 'Crashing', which is employed by project managers when deadlines of projects come closer. If a project is to be completed within the schedule in order to achieve it's intended benefits but with all the existing resources it's not becoming possible to have it completed on time, in such cases additional resources are brought in for completing the project or if securing of additional resources isn't possible, then under crashing, requirements or scope of the project could be reduced after taking major stakeholder's agreement. The purpose of crashing is to achieve maximum reductions in time with incurring minimum additional cost.
