What response is expected from the developer?
something like this:
Your honor! Guilty! I'll fix it! Do not order to be executed! I promise not to sleep for three days, but to solve the problem!

Do you know why? Because 95% of you are patient in life.
I don’t understand at all how in the IT world, in development, you can talk about some kind of time frame. A trivial mistake can become a stupor for a week - easily!
This excavator or bricklayer can objectively talk about the timing, where +/- processes last the same. In IT, no.
Do not work where deadlines are burning. There are plenty of places where there are no burning deadlines , where you are not forced to climb out of your skin. Read: ebanoe-it.ru/2020/12/28/right-way/

You communicate with the immediate technical manager, in the case of a developer, this is a team leader, with him you decide how to solve the problem - transfer it to the next sprint, call for help, change the requirements. In any case, it is considered individually, there is no general answer for the situation.

What position are you interviewing for?
If an engineer, then tell the manager.
If on the manager, then try to parallelize the task, inform the RP about the potential risk, speed up 5 other tasks so that the norm is fulfilled.
If for the project manager, then provide a temporary option, work out the option of giving the task to a contract, replace the task, transfer forces to tasks that will give a similar economic effect from the overdue task, include this activity in the schedule.

The handler function you pass to forEach is executed in the context of the current array element.

If the thisArg parameter was passed to the forEach() method, it will be used as the this value when calling callback . Otherwise, undefined will be used as the this value. Ultimately, the value of this as seen from the callback function is determined according to the usual rules for determining this as seen from the function.

//'use strict';

let group = {
  title: "Наш курс",
  students: ["Вася", "Петя", "Даша"],

  showList: function() {
    this.students.forEach(function(student) {
      alert(group.title + ': ' + student); // будет ошибка
    })
  }
}


group.showList.call(group);

Use console.log();
In your case, if you write console.log(this) immediately after showList: function() { ...
, the object will be displayed in the console. Accordingly, try this:

group.students.forEach(function(student) {
      alert(group.title + ': ' + student); 
    })
