EOT evidence builder
Most extension of time claims do not fail because there was no entitlement. They fail because the evidence was assembled months afterwards and it shows. This sets out what an EOT needs, checks what you have, and tells you what is missing while you can still go and get it.
Claims fail on evidence, not entitlement
The delay was real. The cause was not your fault. And the claim still fails, because what gets submitted is a narrative written after the event with no contemporaneous record behind it. What holds up is boring and specific: the date the event happened, the notice you gave and when, what it actually stopped, why that activity was on the critical path, and what you did to mitigate it. Every one of those has to exist at the time. None of them can be created afterwards.
Questions
Will this get my EOT approved?
No. It helps you assemble and check the evidence. Entitlement depends on your contract, the facts, and often on expert programme analysis. This is a starting point, not a claim.
What is the single most common failure?
Late notice. Many contracts require notice within days of becoming aware of the delay, and a missed notice period can bar an otherwise good claim entirely. Check your contract before anything else.
What does "critical path" mean here?
That the delayed activity actually drove the completion date. A delay to an activity with float may cost you money without extending the date. That distinction is usually where an EOT is won or lost.
Do I need a programme?
For anything significant, yes - an as-planned and an as-built, showing the effect. A claim without programme evidence is an assertion.
Is anything uploaded?

Contemporaneous means at the time, not afterwards
Obras captures the diary, the RFI chase trail, the delay register and the photographic record as the job runs — so the evidence for a claim already exists on the day it is needed.
