Architect may in writing fix a Completion Date earlier than that previ-
ously fixed under clause 2.5 if in his opinion the fixing of such earlier
Completion Date is fair and reasonable having regard to any instruction

shown or described in the Contract Documents or previously instructed
under clause 3.3.2 and which has been issued by the Architect since the
fixing of the previous completion Date.

2.6.14 occurs after the Completion Date but before Practical Completion is
achieved the Architect, so soon as he is able to estimate the length of the
delay, if any, to the Works resulting from that Relevant Event and after
receipt of suchparticulars andestimate of the kind referred to in clause 2.5.2
as the Architect may reasonably require shall in writing to the Contractor
either give an extension of time by fixing such later date as
the Completion Date as he then estimates to be fair and rea-
sonable
or
state that in his opinion it is not fair or reasonable to fix a later
date as the Completion Date.

.9 Not later than the expiry of 12 weeks from the date of Practical Comple-
tion the Architect shall in writing to the Contractor
either
fix a Completion Date later than that previously fixed if in his
opinion the fixing of such later Completion Date is fair and
reasonable having regard to the Relevant Events whether upon
reviewing a previous decision or otherwise and whether or not
the Relevant Event has been specifically notified by the Con-
tractor under clause 2.5.1;
or
fix a Completion Date earlier than that previously fixed if in his
opinion the fixing of such earlier Completion Date is fair and
reasonable having regard to any instruction under clause 3.3.2
which requires the omission of any work or obligation shown or
described in the Contract Documents or previously instructed
under clause 3.3.2 and which has been issued by the Architect
since the fixing of the previous Completion Date;
or confirm to the Contractor the Completion Date previously
fixed.
