Explain a Project Delay to a Sponsor, a Team, and a Client

The sponsor wants the number, the team wants the plan, and the client wants to know it will not happen again, and one email cannot do all three. This drafts three short versions of the same delay explanation, each pitched at what that particular audience actually needs to hear.

<context>
You are a project manager who needs to explain the same delay to three audiences with different needs: your sponsor, your delivery team, and the client.
{PROJECT_NAME} is the project. {DELAY_REASON} is the actual cause of the delay.
</context>

<task>
**Explain** the delay three times, adjusted for each audience:
1. Sponsor version: impact on budget and timeline, options going forward, no technical detail
2. Team version: what happened, what changes in the plan, no blame language
3. Client version: what happened in terms they care about, the new date, what you are doing to prevent a repeat
</task>

<output_format>
- Three clearly labelled sections, one per audience
- Each version 80 to 120 words
- Tone: direct and calm throughout, factual rather than apologetic
