You have been appointed to project manage the building of a hospital in Soweto where a number of people have recently died due to the coronavirus. The hospital is needed urgently due to the existing hospitals having limited capacity to accommodate the thousands of coronavirus infected residents that are in dire need of hospital care, or risk death. The South African minister of health has a personal interest in this project and has determined a strict deadline for the completion of the project. The minister is an ex-resident of Soweto and hence is passionate about helping the residents. He has pledged to the residents that he will ensure that the hospital is made operational in record time.

The graph should show the degree of the risk over project time. The cost of project and the risks should be plotted separately.
