At you can insert "so as" or "in order", but I recommend against it as unnecessary.

Thank you for the above suggestion.
Which of the following sentences sounds better?
"Your claim should include an estimate of cost and the likely effect of delay on progress of the work."
or
"Your claim should include an estimate of cost and of likely effect of delay on progress of the work."
Thanks in advance.

Hi ed73.
"estimate of cost" could be better written as "cost estimate"
Your claim should include a cost estimate and the likely effect from the delay of work.
"delay on progress" is somewhat redundant.
Does this help?
