Completing the project before the proposed deadline is not a violation of ethical standards. It is actually a good thing if you can complete the project earlier than expected. The other choices are all potential violations of ethical standards, such as deception (assigning part of the project to less-qualified associates), misrepresentation of qualifications and abilities (proposing to do a project for which you are under qualified), and dishonesty (severely underestimating the cost of the project).
