Check a delay and variation summary against the programme

- How AI is used
- Set the summary beside the programme and the site records and list each date, activity, or quantity that does not match, with the document name. Do not write a delay analysis or a claim letter.
- What the lawyer must review
- Entitlement to time or money is the contract’s clause, which the lawyer reads. 31 U.S.C. § 3905’s 7-day payment duty, on an agency construction contract, runs from satisfactory performance and from amounts the agency has paid the prime. It is not a test of who caused delay. 40 U.S.C. § 3133’s 90-day notice and one-year suit limit apply to a bond claim by a person who furnished labor or material, not to a delay claim between the parties. Formal Opinion 512 requires the lawyer to verify the tool’s dates before they are used.
