Address a Coworker's Delays

A coworker keeps delivering late, and it is already affecting your timeline and outside commitments. You need to address it without pushing the relationship into open conflict.

Goal: Practice describing the impact of repeated delays and making a clear collaboration request instead of only expressing frustration.
