Final Answer :
The difference between the estimated time and project completion date is called total or project float. The longest path to the completion of the project is the critical path. If the critical path takes less time than is allowed by the client to complete the project, the project has a positive total float or project slack. If the project completion is before the end date by calculating the critical path end date, the project has negative float.
