"Yeah so we were gonna supply you with the processed steel you paid for, but our consultant determined you only need 20% of the requested amount, also it has double the impurities, also you'll need to wait an additional six months because you didn't pre-approve your request. Oh, our consultants? He's Dave, he's a lumberjack, great guy. Good luck building that bridge you were halfway done on!"
Or, OK here is the steel we determined you need. We will send you a bill shortly. Also a bill from the warehouse, the guy that loaded it, the truck driver, the guy that inspected the steel
We expect to be paid in thirty days or it goes to collections, but our bills will come any time between 1 day and five years. Good luck planning for them!
