I agree that contractors receive red tags and deficiency reports everyday. If resolved in a timely manner (1-3 days) it shouldn't have much of an impact on schedule. Waiting 45 days raises some eyebrows and one could argue the contractor was negligent in not resolving the items in a timely manner.

I think this is fairly reasonable, unless the contractor can prove the 45 days were due to something outside of their control like weather.
The repeat red tags is another point too. I looked at ours and at least 4 items were repeats. I looked through some red tags some were surprising like "label circuit breakers" and "provide a ladder for roof access"
