2.26.1  General principle

Project Co is entitled to:

•  time relief during the Development Phase for Extension Events; and

•  compensation and time relief during the Development Phase for Compensable Extension Events.

Project Co and the Project Co Associates must take all reasonable steps which a prudent, competent and experienced contractor would have taken to minimise the effects, consequence and duration of the Extension Event.

As with all Relief Events, the State's liability to Project Co in connection with an Extension Event will be reduced to the extent that Project Co causes or contributes to the Extension Event or the consequences of the Extension Event (clause 43.10(a) of the PV Standard Project Deeds).
