    Siddiqui,

     

    This is quite feasible

    Performance % complete is more than scheduled means you have done more work than planned -good news!

    Actual costs/manpower is less than planned means not only have you done more work than planned, but using less manhours than planned -good news!

    Villa is ahead of schedule and Infra is behind schedule means that despite doing more work than planned in total, you are late on doing one or more critical activities within the Infra section. -bad news!

     

    You can perform better than planned and still be late, if you perform well on non-critical activities but poorly on critical activities.
