Even if this is not a bug, it is one of the least fun aspects of the game.

I will say that I'm not completely a fan of the system as currently constituted.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

for me this is the one part of the game that totally drains the fun and energy that i have.

imagine 200 to 250 seats constitutes to almost 10 days that is really frustrating if you look at it.

Yeah that's right. Every day over the deadline the contractor have to pay a certain amount of money. It is a way to limit the contractors bids on price/building time estimate. It would make a nice addition to speculate in slow contractors. Maybe one could even earn money by expanding the stadium

How about you have three options on the contractor:

1) Base - estimate +/- 25% time= base cost
2) Unreliable - +5/-50% = -10% base cost
3) Speedy - +25/-10 time = +25% base cost

You pay extra or save extra for either a faster build or slower one...

Depends on the contract you guys signed. You can put strict limits in it, but it's not allways so.
Offcourse if it takes very long time you allways have the right to protest against unnecessary delay.

what do you mean depends on the contract

this should be the basic thing when you negotiate a construction project. because your putting in a lot of money plus time and you dont see it getting done. whats worst if you didnt finish it by the time you want it or the scheduled time then you should be asking the contractor, but no matter what happens there is this called penalty.

In a decently negotiated contract there are strict time limits included. But this is not always the case. People need to watch out when negotiating. The process goes a lot more smoothly when the details of this possible penalty are described in the contract.
Another example: Some smaller jobs are sometimes done without contract: for friends or worse, to avoid taxes.
As owner it is impossible in this situation to have control of the time schedule.

i do know that when it comes with a personal favor

but we are talking about building a arena. i doubt you can have a negotiation that doesnt include a contract, clauses and even receipts or whatever thats necessary.

i dont know in other countries but i am a bit sure that with this kind of organization those people who should be sniffing around wouldnt let it go that easily.
