Such s um is liquidated damages and shall not be construed as a penalty, and may be deducted from pa yments due the Contractor if such delay occurs.
In addition to the liquidated damages specified, if the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified for completion, plus any authori zed time extensions, the Agency shall have the right to charge to the Contract all or any part, as it may deem proper, of the actual costs of inspection, supervision and other overhead expenses that are directly chargeable to the project and that accrue after the expiration of such specif ied time for completion plus authorized extensions.
