Under a contract for a hospital extension, the contractor is six weeks past the completion date (with no valid excuses) when the architect issues an instruction requiring extra work which will take a week to carry out.Explain the contractor's rights (if any) to an extension of time or financial compensation for direct loss and/or expense incurred, stating any assumptions you make about the precise wording of the contract.
