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.
Some research suggests that delays in canonical babbling (not using canonical babbling by about 10 months of age) can sometimes be a predictor of later disabilities such as speech and language delays or learning disabilities (Oller et al. 1999). However, this is not always the case.
