A Construction Change Directive (CCD) is used in a context where there is an absence or a lack of agreement on the price, or time, or both between the parties to the contract at the time when changes in the Work is directed. Like it or not, a contractor must carry out the directive as required under the contract (AIA 201 4.3.3).
Say at some point in the future, the contractor agrees to the terms after a series of negotiation, the CCD would then become a change order. In the event, say, if the contractor couldn’t agree with the terms decided by the owner or architect, then the contractor could recourse the dispute to mediation (4.5). (A Contractor must not stop or threaten to stop work.)
A contractor who refuses to carry out the changes in Work as directed by the owner or architect may be guilty of anticipatory breach of the contract, thus giving the owner grounds to terminate for cause.
