BaghdadiLaw handles extension-of-time claims, compensation and delay penalty disputes, bringing technical evidence into the legal case.

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to project delay claims, with practical knowledge of event chronology, programme impact and responsibility for the period of delay. An extension-of-time claim for a Saudi project asks how a particular event affected contractual completion. Delay is not proved merely by showing that an event occurred or the project finished late. The review must connect the event to the work sequence and distinguish time entitlement from money.
The contract’s notice, extension and cost provisions are central, alongside the applicable Saudi legal framework and any public-procurement rules. No universal notice period should be substituted for the executed project conditions. A replacement procurement law was published on 4 September 2026 with commencement 120 days after publication; it is not yet effective on this review date. Check project timing and transition rules before applying the replacement. Show which activity was affected and whether it controlled completion at the relevant time. A long event may have little completion impact, while a shorter event on critical work may matter.
We agree the work your matter needs: Clarify programme evidence, seek an explained extension decision, negotiate time or cost items or assess the contractual dispute mechanism. The deliverable is agreed for your file: An event-and-programme chronology, notice review and separation of time entitlement from cost substantiation.

Not necessarily. Read what was approved and the contractual basis for costs. Time relief and prolongation expense should be supported separately and reconciled with concurrent or contractor-caused delay.
Not automatically. Identify whether it was accepted for planning or expressly changed the contractual completion date.
