The document discusses time management under the FIDIC Red Book 2017 construction contract. It outlines the key project parties, including the engineer, employer, and contractor. It then examines various time-related clauses such as the time for completion, commencement and delays, extensions of time, suspension, resumption of work, and delay damages. The payment process and typical payment events are also summarized. Finally, the document reviews FIDIC's dispute resolution provisions, including the process for claims, references to the dispute adjudication board, and potential arbitration.
