I think the question did say deliver. Hower these are good points to make as a part of the successful project team.
I agree there needs to be a SharePoint business analyst to gain requirements and to build knowledge and awareness within the business. This could also be a SharePoint consultant role.
I believe the developer using OOTB is essential to rapidy build a good solution using OOTB and third party tools.
It clearly needs a PM role perhaps combined with the Consultant.
Architecture can be covered by consultant.
SP administrator is really needed to ongoing maintenance, is an important role but not as the project team to deliver.
Finally I would add a web developer to provide a rich UX.
It looks like the consultant should definitely wear their underpants on top of their trouser suit 😉
All of the above is my opinion but there is no right or wrong answer.
