When a project involves equipment provided by the customer, the risk of delayed delivery is significant, as it can have a high impact on the project timeline. The risk manager should ensure that this risk is well-documented in the risk register and managed as a high-impact project risk. By doing so, the project team can monitor the situation closely and implement contingency plans if necessary. This approach is consistent with PMI’s guidelines on risk management, which emphasize the importance of identifying, documenting, and managing high-impact risks to mitigate their effects on project objectives​​.
