Will be detrimental to the overall progress of the Project. 37.2. The Engineer’s or Project Manager’s approval of the Contractor’s Means and Methods of the Work, or his/her failure to exercise his/her right to reject such means or methods, shall not relieve the Contractor of its obligation to complete the Work as provided in this Contract; nor shall the exercise of such right to reject create a cause of action for damages.
