The claims are being made. Some 81% are about extension of time. On the other side of that, not bringing the project in on time incurs a penalty. I find it quite difficult to get my head around that, that there is in the contract, rightly, a penalty for not bringing the project in on time but, at the same time, the value of 81% of the claims is to do with the extension of time. Those two things do not correlate - for me, anyway.
