For example, on a claim where a contractor is claimng they were going to complete early and now they can't...#1 the contractor is starting later than the contract allowed, #2 they are taking longer than they showed on their schedule for the preliminary work #3 The Milestone Date from another contractor to be out of the way is a "no later than" so the contractor "might" get to that area sooner than their claim start date. Do you have to pay for "on paper" or can you wait and see how it actually plays out?
