The project manager should approach the situation by reviewing the change management plan to discuss early benefits realization with the client. The project manager should present the opportunity to the client, explaining the potential benefits of completing the deliverable ahead of schedule and the minimal impact on project resources. The project manager should provide the client with all the necessary information to make an informed decision and work with them to update the project plan accordingly. This will ensure that the project is aligned with the client's goals while taking advantage of the opportunity to reduce project costs.

The opportunity should be presented to the client alongside all the pros and cons. The way to do it is to submit a CR, get it evaluated, reviewed and approved by the CCB and then present it to the client.
