The time and materials contract is one method of pricing work. Arrangement in which a contractor is paid on the basis of (1) actual cost of direct labor, usually at specified hourly rates, (2) actual cost of materials and equipment usage, and (3) agreed upon fixed add-on to cover the contractor's overheads and profit (income).

What is a time materials contract?

It's a time of legal contract between two entities (Service Provider and Client) that Project Managers use. The other type of contract is a "fixed rate contract". The properties of a time and material contract are easy to understand: The team providing services to the client has a fixed billing rate. the more time is spent on a project, the more money the client pays for the service/good offered. In other words, suppose that my billing rate is 800 USD per day. I (the Service provider) will deliver a service that client needs, stating that this will take 2-4 days, and that this is a time&material contract. the client will be billed 1600 - 3200 USD, based on how much time was spent. in a fixed rate contract, I would inform that the service will cost 1600 USD. if for any reason, the project is delayed , the additional cost will be paid by me.

Can you sue a company for promising i have proof of this promise to deliver a product to you at a certain time and not delivering the product when promised?

You may sue for breach of this promise only if the failure to make the delivery on time is a material breach of the contract and if you suffered monetary damages as a result of the breach. The promise to deliver at a specific time is not automatically a material provision of the contract per se although it can be made so within the contract itself. Never the less, even if it is a material provision and if it has been breached, you may not sue if you have suffered no monetary damages as a result of the failure to make an on time delivery.
