Hello! I am trying to find a synonym for the word "threatening " because I think it does not sound really well in my sentence below. But for me it's important to find a word that could be interpreted as a simple "threatening" as well (because it will be included in a contract). gross negligence: Suspending the works or threatening to suspend the works in connection with claims for an extension of time

Please help me to understand the worker's complain below. The story is that he did not get paid on time for the vacation (home trip allowance), and he is asking for the lost interest and some percentage I do not understand what is meant here (written by Australian English speaker). "The reimbursement (home allowance) was deposit into the bank account. The company did not reimburse any of the lost interest that these expense monies were held onto for near on 2 months. I only invoiced a nominal amount of lost interest of %10 per month, for each month, that the company held onto my personnel monies, they were offered to discuss but they did not discuss this in any communications, just ignored this". Thanks

I am confused with the part of the below sentence that starts with till (the text is written by an Australian speaker): "When we had a video conference with HR, I advised him of my interest and why I wanted to be part of this project, and he advised that I would be welcomed with the company till I am ready to retire approximately in 10 years." My understanding is that since the project is long (approx 10 or more years, HR wanted to be sure that the applicant will stay there for long and is not going to retire since the age of the applicant is 45 or something. Do I understand it correct? Thanks

What is facility? I need to translate two terms from Russian into English from construction industry: the first one is used as "construction object" in Russian, so something that is to be constructed - my version in English is "construction project". And I also need a word for a project / building that was already constructed - my version is facility. Or facility can be used in the first case as well?
