When business negotiations are in full swing, clients are typically focused on bottom line business objectives, content to leave the lawyers to hash out standard legal provisions. However, certain legal provisions can also impact business risk, enough so that clients should understand how they work and what can be done to avoid unnecessary risk. One such provision that often receives little attention from clients is contract damages.

Although you understand the implications of a delay, and also realize that raising a red flag at this stage will not be well-received, it is nevertheless your responsibility to protect the company from potential legal issues arising post-launch.
