Sheila and Jasper entered into a written contract where jasper agreed to build a retirement home with 50 single: resident 2020 rooms (20,000sq, ft.) and an additional 20,000sq. ft. of common area (lobby, cafeteria, dining room, exercise facility, library and chapel). Sheila agreed to pay Jasper $4 Million for the 40,000.5q. ft. project- $100 per sq. ft. Sheila and Jasper agreed "time was of the essence," and Jasper promised a completed, "turnkey" project in 18 months. At the conclusion of 18 months-and a day--jasper had built only 32,000sq. ft. of the total project. Sheila deciared Jasper "in breach" of the agreement, and denied his request for partial payment due to his promise of a "completed. 'turnkey' project in 18 months." She reminded jasper that, "a contract is a contract, and we all live and die by the written word." Desperate to complete her project, Shella entered into a contract with jennifer to build the remaining 8,0005q. ft. for $1.2 Million (\$150 per sq. ft.). Jennifer completed the project as promised and was paid the ogreed amount. Jasper is unhappy and seeks a remedy. What legal issues are involved and how might they be resolved
