Excerpt
Introduction: It has been said that delays in the performance of Government contracts have accounted for more losses and a greater percentage of business failure than any other single factor in the field of Government procurement.' We are all aware of the example of the over optimistic or inefficient contractor who is forced to pay liquated damages because he has not been able to complete his work on time, but the contractor is not the only party who can cause delays. In a surprising number of cases it is the Government, rather than the contractor, who is responsible for a work stoppage. The Court of Claims has been called upon over one hundred times to decide claims based upon Government-caused delays. The various administrative boards established to handle factual disputes under Government contracts are continually required to resolve disputes arising from delays caused by the Government. As will be seen, the problem has significance for both parties to the contract
