What usually happens is that quality is cut. This is usually a very bad idea. When you tell your resources to get the same thing done with less effort (effort = money), they have to compromise something. The end result is a buggy, unreliable, or crappy looking product. Cut scope of the project, do not cut quality. Do a Change Request as Project Coach advises too, so everyone will know the impact.
