To calculate the expected duration of the project, we need to find the critical path. The critical path is the longest path of tasks through the network that determines the earliest completion date of the project. In this case, the critical path is A → C → E → G, which has a total duration of 21 weeks. Therefore, we can expect the project to take 21 weeks to complete.
