--explanation--

Jake uses might to show uncertainty about the deadlines being affected. He also says, I hope it won't, which expresses hope that the deadlines remain unaffected. For example:

  • The software update might cause some delays. - This means it is possible, but not certain, that delays will happen.

  • I hope the server won't go down during the deployment. - This expresses a desire for the server to remain operational.
