DNA is in an incredible structure. This tightly coiled molecule houses the genes that an organism needs to grow and survive, and packing them all inside a cell's nucleus is an incredible feat. The DNA length varies in different organisms. The DNA of a virus may be as small as a few thousand base pairs.
Consider the consequences. Delays and missed deadlines can be accepted as long as the value of the project exceeds the consequences of the delay. In all likelihood, delays will impact project costs, resource availability, customer relationships, and related business needs.
Children reach developmental milestones at their own pace. Minor, temporary delays are usually no cause for alarm, but an ongoing delay or multiple delays in reaching milestones can lead to issues later in life. Delay in reaching language, thinking, and motor skills milestones is called developmental delay.
