Explanation / Answer

A negative float refers to the time delay in completion of a project activity. It is the deviation of actual time from the scheduled time. In other words, it is the number of days required to be saved to bring the project to completion on time.

All the above answers attribute someway or the other to negative float. The contractor using as late as possible constraint would definitely slow down the process of work and delay the project.

A budget overrun in critical tasks would lead to shortage of resources for completion of the task. Thus would delay the project.

If the activities in the critical path take more time than planned or if new activities are added in the path, it would disrupt the scheduled time for other activities as well.

Thus, all this would lead to delays and negative float.
