Abstract
The Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) remains a critical area of study in project management, focusing on optimizing project schedules under constraints such as limited resources and task interdependencies. This review synthesizes advancements from 2016 to 2024, encompassing problem variants, optimization techniques, objectives, and real-world applications. Key developments include the evolution of hybrid metaheuristics, multi-objective optimization approaches, and the integration of stochastic models to enhance robustness against uncertainties. Furthermore, the application of machine learning and sustainability-driven models has expanded the practical scope of RCPSP in dynamic and complex environments. Challenges such as scalability, uncertainty management, and the need for practical implementations are addressed, with future directions emphasizing AI integration, decentralized scheduling, and real-time adaptive solutions. This study provides a comprehensive perspective on RCPSP, bridging theoretical research with practical implications for diverse industries.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
