Project variance is the measurable difference between a project's planned performance—such as schedule, cost, or scope—and its actual results, often highlighting inefficiencies or unforeseen challenges. This concept is crucial in project management for real-time adjustments, especially in complex fields like construction or IT, where even small variances can escalate into major delays or budget overruns.
