What can a design agency claim when the client delays approvals?

Late approvals stall the team, move staff to other work and force a restart later. The cost includes idle hours and the time to get back up to speed.

Record the date each approval was requested, the date it was due and the date it arrived. Note what the team did in the gap and what the delay pushed back.

Look for a clause that gives time or fees for client delay. Many agreements say the client must reply within a set number of days. If yours does, the late days are your evidence.

Give notice as soon as the delay starts. A short email that names the approval and the date is enough to protect the claim.
