| Scope | US law-firm practice commentary on data-center construction contracts: a qualitative range for the daily delay-LD rate, not a survey of executed contracts. The article says caps are often expressed as a percentage of contract value but gives no percentage. |
| Caveat | Practice commentary, not contract data; private data-center LD rates and cap percentages are not published. |
