Describe the Feature

If it is impossible for a work unit to complete folding in the time remaining, then it should be redirected or cancelled to allow the computer's processing power to be redirected to another work unit.

Taking the example in the screenshot below, despite my work laptop folding at full power there is still an estimated 2.43 days remaining. However, my computer only has 1.09 days to complete the folding. As it's impossible for my computer to finish the work unit in time, the work unit should be automatically redirected to another user's computer to complete folding (if feasible), or else cancelled and another work unit started to allow it to be completed.

Note that this is likely only an issue with computers with low processing power (such as my work machine).

Context

It should allow more work units to be completed across the chain.
