• noting that even an intentional breach of contract may not serve as the basis for an award of punitive damages where non-breaching party is fully compensated and inability to perform the contract without substantial financial loss is legitimate business reason
• reiterating that “[t]he mere fact that the parties are in disagreement on construction to be given to the contract does not necessarily establish an ambiguity” (quoting Levenson v. Mobley, 744 P.2d 174, 176 (N.M. 1987)
• ‘‘an award of actual damages unrelated to delay does not preclude an award of liquidated damages for delay-related damages’’ as ‘‘[t]he vice to be guarded against is a duplication of damages’’ (internal quotation marks omitted)
• standard for imposing punitive damages
