D) Verify all time estimates with the people doing the work

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding a significant buffer of time to each activity can lead to inefficient planning and resource allocation, potentially causing delays and increased costs rather than creating realistic time estimates. Other options involve practical considerations that contribute to more accurate and achievable time estimations.
