Generally speaking, assertion of damages from a delay requires that the contract completion date be extended.  A delay may or may not extend the overall schedule for completing the entire scope of the contract.  When using a method referred to as Critical Path Scheduling (CPM), delays of an activity off the critical path do not extend the schedule until the entire float (slack time) is consumed.
