There are all sorts of little typographical tweaks that might gain a few lines over the document. It depends how closely the format is specified, but things such as the font used and leading set can add up, without being an obvious change.

Switching to Garamond from Times New Roman, no other changes, saves about a dozen lines in 7 pages. Going to Palatino Linotype stretched it to 8 pages. Going to Centaur brings it down to 6 pages. No changes to anything but the font used, and all Serif fonts. And nothing looks dreadful. If it's a change you're allowed, it's worth checking. Does it look OK?
