LONDON-Multiplex has warned of further delays to the euro 1.1-billion ($1.4-billion) Wembley stadium project, a development that has already cost the euro 293 million ($375 million) because of delays. The Australian developer blamed the stadium owners, Wembley National Stadium Ltd., for the delays and added in its statement that it would be seeking legal redress. WNSL responded by accusing Multiplex of missing deadlines and making “deliberately confusing” statements. The Football Association said it was confident the euro 1.1-billion ($1.4-billion) stadium would be ready for next year’s Cup final.

Multiplex agreed to build Wembley on a fixed-price contract of euro 659 million ($843.8 million) and has faced penalty charges of euro 175,825 ($225,000 ) per day since January of this year. It is understood the penalties will be capped at euro 55.7 million ($71.3 million), although the final sum is likely to be determined in court. Multiplex is understood to be seeking compensation of up to euro 219.8 million ($281 million), arguing that delays were caused by design changes instigated by WNSL.
