To depend on shows that something can change when another factor influences it. It's a common way to explain that the result is not always the same and may vary. For example:
Our trip depends on the weather. - This means the plan can change if the weather is bad.
In the dialogue, the usual ending time is 5 o'clock, but if there is an important project deadline, the team might need to stay longer.
What does Anna mean by that depends on project deadlines?
Workday length can change based on project needs.
Work always finishes exactly at 5.
Depends on suggests variability, not a fixed time.
Projects are only done after 5.
The statement is about workday duration, not specific project timing.
Deadlines are not important for project completion.
The statement implies deadlines are significant for determining workday length.
