What constitutes a breach of contract?

  1. Mutual agreement to modify terms

  2. A party failing to perform as required by the contract

  3. The completion of the project ahead of schedule

  4. Disagreements on project specifications

The correct answer is: A party failing to perform as required by the contract

A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their obligations as specified in the contract. This can involve not performing duties, failing to deliver goods or services, or not adhering to the stipulated timeline. In this context, the correct choice highlights that when a party does not perform as required, it constitutes a failure to meet the terms agreed upon, thus leading to a breach. The other choices illustrate situations that do not represent a breach of contract. For instance, mutual agreement to modify terms indicates a collaborative approach to making changes, rather than failure to meet original obligations. Completing a project ahead of schedule is generally seen as positive performance rather than a breach. Lastly, disagreements on project specifications may lead to disputes but do not constitute a breach unless one party fails to act according to those specifications.
