試題分析：考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問句做賓語從句：句意：經(jīng)理究竟想知道什么？--（他想知道）我們什么時(shí)候完成計(jì)劃。這是省略句，完整的句子是：The manager wanted to know when it was that we could finish the project.因?yàn)槭亲龅馁e語從句，所以語序應(yīng)該是陳述句語序，排除BC，另外這題是強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊問句，結(jié)構(gòu)是：特殊疑問詞+is/was+it+that+其余部分，特殊疑問詞的選擇要看句子成分和句意，因?yàn)檫@句話不缺主賓表，缺少的是時(shí)間狀語，選D。
