Construction · Defined
Recovery schedule
A proposed plan for regaining lost time or meeting a required milestone after delay.
Why it matters
Test whether revised sequencing, crews, procurement, and working hours are feasible and funded. A compressed bar chart alone does not demonstrate that recovery is achievable.
In practice
A project example
The contractor proposes overlapping trades, but the plan depends on equipment that still has an unconfirmed delivery date.
