I would say yes, but I would also have to believe that it really depends on the reason for the paper. If this is a doctoral thesis, most likely not good. If it was a homework assignment for a paper even though a masters program, could be fine, but I would contact the instructor right away if you feel it will be a problem, this should be proof that it was unintentionally. Really depends on the instructor. If you are submitting this for publishing, that would also not be good. The longer you have do to something the more perfect it can be expected to be, or if you are having it published, which would also have some great exceptions of correctness. Hope this helps

Although it is an honest mistake, it can still be classified as plagiarism. If you can level with the person that you are giving this project to and let them know, then they won't take it as such. Otherwise, it can be seen as plagiarism, mistake or not.

It is most important above all else that you have written permission to use another author or artist's creation in your works.
I recommend letting the author know of the unintentional erasure of his credits.

Look up the definition of "plagerism".
