Construction contracts generally allow the construction period to be extended where there is a delay that is not the contractor's fault. This is described as an extension of time (EOT).

When it becomes reasonably apparent that there is, or that there is likely to be, a delay that could merit an extension of time, the contractor gives written notice to the contract administrator identifying the relevant event that has caused the delay.

A formal letter is addressed to the contract administrator requesting the extension of time, presenting the reasons. This letter is then remitted by the administrator to the project manager for evaluation before approval or rejection. If it is approved, the letter is given a written answer by the project manager and a change order is issued.

Common refusals of extensions of time may be related to the following reasons:

* When the delays in question are caused by subcontractors.
* Where the workforce is insufficient or inadequate to complete the work activities.
* Where the contractor has underperformed.
* Normal, i.e. not freak, weather-related delays.
* When the proof or evidence presented to demonstrate that the contractor has suffered irrecoverable delays is insufficient.
