• stating that “the contractor must show that during that delay it was required to be ready to resume work on the contract, at full speed as well as immediately”
• affirming denial of overhead costs where the evidence “shows conclusively that [the contractor] was able to progress other parts of the work during the time periods it alleges it was suspended”
