    Appellate court held there was ample trial evidence that the Appellant delayed works, acknowledged defects at joint inspections, surrendered the project, and agreed to re‑assessment; LOA clauses empowered Respondent to reassess, deduct and set off amounts; credibility findings of trial judge were entitled to deference; therefore Progress Claim Nos.4 and 5 were not payable, the Respondent's counterclaim and assessed amounts and retention were properly awarded, and the appeal must be dismissed.
