If the scope of work changes the contractor is entitled to additional programme time to allow them to do this work. Archaeological excavations are painfully slow for obvious reasons, consultants need to be told to attend and inspect, new arrangements made, etc etcNot sure how the 7M+ cost relates to the original costings, but there's no denying that it took too long. It was due to be done and dusted by the Summer at the latest, think it was originally penciled in for Spring of 2025. I walked through it yesterday mid-November 2025 and there was still work being done.
You'd swear there was nothing governing any of this bar fellas leaning on shovels!
