Which of the following types of delay will NOT result in a time extension and additional compensation for a contractor?

A non-excusable delay is a delay attributable to the contractor's own fault, negligence, or inaction. For such delays, the contractor is not entitled to any relief from the owner. The contractor must absorb the costs associated with the delay and is responsible for the time impact, potentially facing liquidated damages for late completion. Therefore, this type of delay results in neither a time extension nor additional compensation.

B. Compensable delay: This is an excusable delay for which the contractor is entitled to both a time extension and additional compensation from the owner.
C. Non-compensable delay: This is an excusable delay for which the contractor is entitled to a time extension but not additional compensation (e.g., force majeure).
D. Excusable delay: This is a broad category that includes both compensable and non-compensable delays, both of which grant a time extension to the contractor.
