"Without knowing the details..." You don't need any more details, you
hit the nail on the head. The question is, who would take such a

Actually, that's an easy one.<br>

Assuming the penalties are capped by the amount you are supposed to
receive (i.e. - you do not end up owing them money), someone who wants
to build up their resume and without a likely source of income for the
coming five weeks can actually turn a profit on this job, whether he
makes it on time or not. The profit is, of course, non-monetary.<br>
<br>
Sure, the client is receiving an inexperienced contractor where what
they need is a really really experienced one, but GIGO[1] applies.<br>
<br>
Who knows, some of the inexperienced guys are really really talented.
They may actually pull it off.<br>
