come in on time and on budget

Technology accounts for just 5% of HR's total influence on business performance, making this the only HR competency domain that is not significantly related to financial performance.
This is hardly surprising. Overall, only about 10% of business information technology (IT) projects ***come in on time and on budget***, and HR-specific projects probably fit the general pattern.

prompt delivery and...
Hi Joanna,
It simply means that only 1 project in 10 is delivered on the scheduled date (on time) and has stayed within the cost requirements (on budget). In other words, the others arrive late and cost more than the amount of money allocated for them.

Mòran taing. You're right about planned. It's definitely more suitable here.

: Yes. Others have the right idea but this is the best wording. "Planned" is, indeed, preferable here, I think.

: "the price agreed" is not really the right wording... "within the budgeted amount" or "within the budget" or "at the budgeted cost or less" would be more accurate

: 'fit' is a woolly and arguably inaccurate term to render 'come in' // Yes, that would at least avoid the ambiguity

what about COMPLY?; I used 'fit' as it is used with reference to the HR projects. Anyway, thanks! This helps!
