Can I ask for more time to complete a project?
Yes, if you need more time for a project due to unforeseen challenges, it’s okay to request an extension.
Sometimes projects take longer than expected due to unforeseen challenges, additional requirements, or complexity. If you're finding that more time is necessary to complete a project successfully, it’s okay to request an extension. When making the request, clearly outline the reasons for the delay and propose a revised timeline. It’s also helpful to explain how the extra time will ensure better quality and accuracy in the final deliverable. Employers often appreciate transparency and prefer a well-executed project over rushing to meet an arbitrary deadline.
