Tech/Engineering - Computers: Software / vehicle distribution software | | French term or phrase: avance/retard réel | Hi all!
I know this must seem like a really silly question. It appears as a heading, alongside items like "milestone", "position", "scheduled date" and others. I realise that it means how far ahead of or behind time the distribution process actually is with respect to the scheduled dates, whether things are running early or late, but I just can't get my head around how to put it as a heading. Actual what or delay? AFAIK advance wouldn't be right here.
You've never failed me yet ... ;)
many TIA |

Assuming the measurement is in some kind of unit of time.
Examples from project mgt:
delays quickly propagate. Project dependencies also. mean that local gains do not add up, and projects lose precious time on their critical path ...
