&gt;After all, if the bridge is half-built, what&#x27;s the customer going to do?<p>Maybe sue you for liquidated damages whilst pursuing all other possible avenues in the contract for claiming against a breach. Maybe file an insurance claim, and weather the mobilization costs for another contractor to take over your scope.<p>But before any of that you first have to estimate the potential legal costs and determine what&#x27;s going to work more in your favor. :)
