| | slack | Explanation:
u know, when u schedule something, say a series of activities, you have to spare a couple of extra days, weeks, or hours -depending on what ur doin'- per activity so in case things dont go as planned you can make use of such time slack -i.e. the extra days. Say u left 4 extra days and got a little behind schedule and had to use 3 of such extra days, then u "consumed" 75% of such slack, which is the metrics or indicator I think they´re trying to use here. :)

WEB DEFINITIONS FOR SLACK AND PERT:
DEFINITIONS OF \"PERT\":
(1) Program Evaluation and Review Technique, also called \"critical path method\"; a planning aid, usually computerized.
fwie.fw.vt.edu/rhgiles/appendices/glossp.htm
(2) Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) - A event-oriented network analysis technique used to estimate project duration when there is a high degree of uncertainly with the individulal activity duration estimates. PERT applies the critical path method to a weighted averange duration estimate (Optimistic - Most Likely - Pesimistic)
