The road contractors have a huge incentive to finish road projects on time. I think there is also a small incentive for finishing ahead of time. Some small payment per day for every day ahead of the "must finish by" date. Of course the job must meet inspectors criteria. This lends itself to payoffs and corruption. But, so far we've been pretty lucky to have little or none of that kind of nonsense. The federal gov't could learn a thing or two.

That's exactly the setup that I was thinking of when I thought of deductions...
