I just saw a result come in four day overdue and get credit for it. So you don't absolutely have to finish in 7 days. You just need to beat whomever gets the reassigned wu.
If a late result comes in in time to make up a quorum (on this project that is it arrives thrid or earlier) then it gets credit.
It does make sense to allow this, as sometimes the person with the reassigned wu does not deliver, and to refuse to use a late result that had come in would bew daft.
In order to be fair to the person with the re-assigned wu, so long as their result back within their deadline they get full credit whether or not it is still needed by then.
In contrast, the person with the overdue credit gets nothing if by the time it is returned it makes no difference. For them it is a race.
I think this shows a reasonable mix of fairness with pragmatism.
