1) Push her to finish the project tonight/tomorrow with time to get repetition on the speech over time? I feel like she's starting to tire and dragging this thing out might just make it feel like she's working all the time. But she will DEFINITELY feel the burn today and it won't be all child initated, that's for sure.
If I were you, I would definitely push her to finish the project tonight or tomorrow. And then, I would help her come up with her speech, help her fine tune it and help her on things like eye contact with audience, gestures, voice modulation etc. I would also help her come up with a small cheat sheet (index card like thing) where she can list the main points of each page so that she can do a quick glance in case she forgets something during the presentation. And I would leave the weekend free with just a few minutes of brush up on her speech before school on Monday. I think that because it is her first big project (I assumed it based on your post), you should try to get it done and out of the way as early as possible so that she has less stress towards the end.
I have one child who never knows what moderation is and goes to a school that is rigorous in LA and we have similar scenarios for his monthly book reports. I step in and manage it for him so that he is done with everything a few days ahead thereby letting him focus on school, tests and extracurriculars until the due date rather than be stressed about the reports.
Good luck.
