Answer to Question 1

Rather than have a contractor be in breach of contract if he or she is not able to complete a project as scheduled liquidated damages provide compensation to owners when this situation occurs at the end of a construction project. Liquidated damages could only be assessed if an owner is able to prove that he or she is losing a certain amount of money per day for each day that the completion of a project extends beyond the scheduled completion date.

Answer to Question 2

Owners would not benefit from a no damages for delay cause because they would not be entitled to damages if a contractor delays their project. A damages for delay clause allows an owner to set the amount of damages per day that would have to be paid to the owner by the contractor if a project is not completed on time. Damages could only be assessed if owners are able to prove the amount they would be losing per day if a project were not completed on time.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
