When contracting parties agree to a fixed price or lump sum amount for a defined scope of work, the contractor is generally obligated to build that scope of work for that price regardless of what it costs him to do so or what unmentioned obstacles he may face. His price will typically be set to cover overhead costs and a reasonable profit. And time is money; all other things being equal, the sooner the contractor completes the work, the more profit he will make.
