* Gross total exceeds net because of concurrent event overlap (DE-002 and DE-003 overlap by 20 days). Net impact calculated using Dominant Cause analysis per SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol (2nd Edition).

Delay Analysis — Claim Position Summary
The Contractor's EOT-003 claim of 60 calendar days cannot be substantiated in full. Owner analysis under the SCL Delay Protocol (Dominant Cause methodology) demonstrates the following position:
Agreed: 28 cd — DE-001 (Employer Variation Sep 2025) was accepted under EOT-001. Prolongation costs already certified.
Agreed: 21 cd — DE-004 (Regulatory permit delay) and 18 cd — DE-007 (Force Majeure rainfall) are non-compensable excusable delays. Total: 39 cd excusable, no cost recovery.
Disputed: 22 cd — DE-005 (Late IFC drawings) is a compensable Owner delay. However, the Contractor's claim of 44 cd impact is overstated. The Owner's analysis shows only 22 cd of critical-path impact as the remaining 22 cd overlapped with DE-006 (Contractor's own productivity failure).
Contractor risk: 57 cd — DE-002 (subcontractor default 30 cd) and DE-006 (concrete productivity 27 cd) are contractor-caused with no entitlement.
Concurrent: 20 cd — The DE-002/DE-003 overlap period (Oct 15 – Nov 3) is concurrent delay. Under most-likely applicable law (common law jurisdiction), no EOT is awarded to either party for concurrent periods.
Owner's counter-position: Grant EOT of 40 cd (18 excusable + 22 compensable), reject remaining 20 cd. Compensable prolongation costs capped at 22 cd site overheads per agreed rates in Appendix F.
