Depends on the feature and the date.  Standard examples could be:

* enact the contingency plan
* go forward with the work, but don't advertise it as a feature in any
announcements/press/releasenotes/etc..
* get an exception from FESCo to land the feature late

It really varies from feature to feature and at what point the decision
is to made to remove it from the feature list.  It's a
discussion/decision that FESCo needs to make with the feature owner.
