Hypothetical question

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

scope creep with no amendment. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 14 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $103,000.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

Liquidated damages clauses need to be a reasonable estimate of actual damages at the time the contract was signed. If the amount is disproportionate to actual harm, courts will often strike it as an unenforceable penalty.
