LOST TIME ALLOWANCES Clause Samples

The "Lost Time Allowances" clause defines how time lost due to specific causes—such as delays, interruptions, or unforeseen events—will be accounted for within a contract or project schedule. Typically, this clause outlines the circumstances under which a party may claim additional time, the process for notifying the other party, and any documentation required to substantiate the lost time. Its core practical function is to ensure that parties are treated fairly when delays occur beyond their control, thereby preventing disputes over project timelines and helping to allocate the risk of delays in a clear and structured manner.
