The table below presents durations, direct costs and immediate predecessors for each activity of a project executed by a contracting company, under both normal and crash conditions. The weekly indirect cost is L.E. 40.

Activity Code	Immediate Predecessors	Normal Duration (week)	Normal Total Direct Cost (L.E)	Crash Duration (Week)	Crash Total Direct Cost (L.E)	Total Allowable crash Time (Week)	Cost Slope per Week (L.E)
A	None	8	325	5	400	3	25
B	None	12	1200	11	1320	1	120
C	None	14	900	14	900	0	0
D	A	7	520	5	600	2	400
E	B,D	5	210	4	270	1	60
F	B	8	100	7	190	1	90
G	E	5	200	4	250	1	50
H	C,F	3	300	2	400	1	100

The Critical Path is A-D-E-G = 25 week

If the contract entitles the contracting company L.E. 80 for each week below the 26-week contract duration limit, Calculate the optimum project completion time?
