Single word for disturbance time
How do you express the disturbance time. Lets say in a project management setting when you have allotted one week for certain task but then realize that there can be 2 days float due to holiday or other priorities that can take practically 1.5 weeks to complete. Is there a word for that period of time?

I'd call it a "miscalculation".

@HotLicks what if that time period is already calculated. What would you term such offset time?

If they didn't take the time into consideration when creating the original schedule it's still a miscalculation.

But miscalendarization sounds more like a can you can kick on down the road.
