In your answer, elaborate on why there was a delay, but most importantly, how you managed to get back on track. Use the STAR format for questions such as these: situation, task, action, result. Describe the delay (Situation) and how you resolved it quickly and got back on track (Task). Describe how you went about executing the task (Action). Finally, explain how the steps you took to resolve it led to the effective and successful resolution of that delay (Result).

"I was working with my team on the configuration of the new HR system we were rolling out, and the HR team asked for a new module that we thought would significantly delay the launch. To meet our internal client's needs, we offered to add the new module, but to avoid delays to the project, we reallocated a resource to work exclusively on the module. We all chipped in extra effort on the major project parts to make up for our coworker's absence as he was working on the module. The coworker who did the module did a fantastic job and didn't require many changes from the group. We were able to roll the product out on time and within budget."

"While we worked on an upgrade, we found a section that wasn't included in the project plan. We were on a tight deadline and knew we couldn't get behind. I took the time to understand that section and ensure I could be a productive team member and keep the project on track. Through my research, I gained knowledge that I shared with the project manager, and we were able to include that section seamlessly. By working with my colleagues and putting all of our knowledge, skills, and resources together, we got it included in a short period and kept going as the project was planned. We didn't miss a beat. I was the newest member on the team, but my dedication and passion contributed to how successful we were in keeping on schedule and achieving quality, effective rollout."
