Extension of time (EOT)

What a request must actually show

A complete request normally addresses the contractual event, notice and substantiation requirements, the relevant milestone, causation, mitigation, concurrency, and a schedule analysis appropriate to the timing and records. The schedule should show how the event affects the controlling path under disclosed assumptions; the contract record should separately support the requested legal and commercial consequence.

How an owner evaluates one

Verify the request against the contract, confirm the source schedule and calculation settings, test the event model and parallel paths, and document any concurrency or mitigation analysis. Record time, compensation, responsibility, and approval as separate decisions unless the governing procedure directs otherwise.

Every request should be logged, every determination written, and every approved date change tied to a controlled schedule revision. Do not rely on an accepted update alone to communicate a contract modification when the agreement requires a separate authorized determination.
