Without the specific details of Table 7.6, it's impossible to provide a tailored explanation. However, if the choice is "zero days," it generally means that shortening activity D does not affect the critical path of the project, hence the total project duration remains unchanged. The critical path is the longest sequence of activities in a project plan which must be completed on time for the project to complete on its due date. Any delays in the critical path directly affect the project's finish date. If shortening an activity does not shorten the critical path, the overall project completion time remains the same.
