resource is changing due to the budget cut, supportive function resource changed due to reorg. But the delivering date is not able to change......

My daily work life in the last years. Work with abstraction, with a superior layer than the detail label where you have things like names. And put in place a project change process from the first minute of the life of the project.

As Sergio says, if something material changes on your project, handle it through disciplined change control. In this case, if time can't change even if costs/resources do, then scope or quality are two of the levers you have left to adjust. Use this as an opportunity to have your business owner or sponsor prioritize what is "must have" and jettison the "nice to have" requirements so that you can still deliver something usable within the reduced budget. If that isn't feasible, then escalate as you are facing a Kobayashi Maru situation (Google that if you aren't a Star Trek fan)...
