Option A, having a private meeting with the person to discuss my observations, is likely the most effective and direct approach. It's crucial to communicate my concerns honestly and professionally, emphasizing the importance of her role and the potential difficulties in transitioning the work mid-task. Understanding her perspective and working together to find a solution is key. Threatening with legal consequences may not be necessary or effective at this stage, and could potentially harm the working relationship. It's more about finding a balance between her ambitions and the needs of the current project.
