A construction contract normally have a specified duration provided by clients and agreed by contractors to complete the work. If the contractor is unable to execute a project within the contracted duration, then the client has the right under construction contract to impose liquidated damages (LDs) on the contractor’s breach for delay. However, there are some conditions which the contractor is not fully in charge of the time overrun and problems are imposed by other parties involved in the projects.
