If you did well, the plan is already achievable, but likely needs tweaking and re-sequencing as you release to Production, If not you'll need to do some major schedule work and likely make some compromises - unhappy customers and customer service, unhappy shopfloor, unhappy vendors, and unhappy finance (costs and working capital).
