Every project, ever. Usually there is a delay, but escalate as quickly as possible.

Depends how critical and how plausible it is to work around. As well as impact of dely. e.g. - if it's a new functionality then having a missing piece might still be better than nothing or at least no real harm.

don’t hide it. be transparent as possible without throwing anyone under the bus if possible.

It depends as I always put it as a risk item if the timeline is not realistic or way shorter than regular scope projects. Atleast you know you will be faced with last minute challenges and no surprises for anyone for missing it.

If this is not the case then someone really screwed up and escalate the heck of it NOW.
