- The concept of time is fairly simple and straightforward. But often the definition of time is set in the contract provisions. This can be done in different ways within a contract. If a contract stipulates a total number of days to complete a project, it needs to call out whether it's specifying calendar days or work days. If it specifies work days, those have to be defined. An example would be a typical public works project contract that states the contractor has 180 working days from the notify to precede to complete the project, with working days being defined as Monday through Friday, excluding national holidays. Pretty straightforward. Or it might simply state that the contractor has 180 calendar days from the date of the notice to precede to complete the project.
