Hi,

1 She's falling behind/running behind schedule.

Often, no difference is intended. However, there can be a difference.



She's falling behind behind schedule. She is getting more and more behind schedule.



She's running behind schedule. She is behind schedule, but the situation may or may not be getting worse.
