So you've completed the project and handed it over to the Client and the commercial team are working on the final account which is proving difficult as the project was signed off 6 months late to latest contract end date. Overall the project went well, with good client/contractor cooperation, delay notices were put in and responded to by the Client and the delays and values settled and paid and were covered by VO's as the project proceeded.
Under senior management pressure the commercial team now want to back track on all this and submit delay notices to cover the LD period and Global disruption claim as a negotiation ploy - How do you respond? Is everything up for grabs in the Final account? Did accepting the VO's mean they could not be reopened? Can you "invent" more delays with the benefit of hindsight?Did handover shut the door on delay submissions?
