Explanation:

Liquidated damages are an amount of money, agreed upon by the parties at the time of the contract signing, that establishes the damages that can be recovered in the event a party breaches the contract. It is a provision that allows for the payment of a specified sum should one of the parties be in breach of contract which is frequently the failure to complete work on time.
