that the delay disrupted the resource allocation plan, even though it affected
a noncritical activity and did not delay the entire project (see Figures 13.5
to 13.7).

Figure 13.4 Bar chart with impact of owner's delay to activity E. The owner's delay has
disrupted the planned use of the noncritical resources. While the contractor would
claim 3 days (14-16) of idle time plus 3 days (20-22) of extra crew time, a
resequencing of the noncritical resource, if possible, would mitigate the owner's delay.
