As suggested below, you and the project team will be able to formulate the solution. Compile the results and that will be your presentation for the Recovery program.
First of all if you prepare the submit the recovery schedule to Client, you are accepting that the delay part belongs to you. Check if there is delay from Client side.
Two of the accepted scheduling techniques to recover a delayed schedules are Fast Tracking and Crashing. Review the present critical path in the project.
In fast tracking you can analyze(with your team & management) where the works can be carried out in parallel, instead of the planned sequence. Consider the risk in it since your project is only 6 months.
In the Crashing, you can add more resources than planned to pull back the delayed activities. Consider the additional cost of the required resources.
As the length of schedule slippage is quantified (20 Days), it allows you to highlight those slippage to the Project Manager for a work around.
For micro management, the delayed activities can be broken down and the resource (Material, Manpower, Equipment, etc.) allocation and availability to be revisited and then logically linked back to the schedule.

Thank you so much for all the help. It helped me a lot.

Hi Mildred,
After comparing with the baseline track all the delayed activities and check weather it caused due to client or not.
Either you can increase the resources to recover the delay or you can change the logic.
Instead of FS relations use more start to start relations to do the fast tracking.
With Best Regards,

Hi, Mildred.
Absolutely crucial information in planning schedule recovery is the drag and the drag cost of each critical path activity.

Hi Raymund,
I stand corrected. I was actually referring to Recovery Program.

Hi Mildrid
Kannan has given you good advice.
One point to consider - is the cost of acceleration more per day than the LAD's?

Also see other possible ways of revised logic.

Mildred,
First of all I would like to have the clarification of the definition of the following:
Recovery Plan = is a narrative report that will layout the execution process of recovering the delayed schedule.
Recovery Schedule = is a Bar chart representing the Planned Schedule compare to Recovery (accelerated) Schedule.
Recovery Program = is the report that consist of the Recovery Plan and Recovery Schedule.
Please correct me if Im wrong.
