Plan vs progress percentage having negative variance, but updated schedule end date is not getting changed (later finish), why?

Question

Accepted Answer

The progress percentage can be negative if the actual progress is less than the planned progress.

Negative variance indicates that the actual progress is behind the planned progress.
The updated schedule end date may not be changed if there are mitigating actions or recovery plans in place.
Factors such as resource constraints, delays in procurement, or unexpected issues can contribute to negative variance without changing the end date.

Accepted Answer

If the Project Progress is based on cost, then in this case if the Actual Cost is more than the earned cost then the variance will be negative, however if the time taken to earn is same as plan then there will be no change in the project completion date.
