If a contractor is lagging behind schedule, is it legally permissible for an architect to limit the amount of preliminaries costs in interim certificates?

This really depends upon the contractual terms, but it is common for the monthly preliminaries amount to be reduced should a contractor fall significantly behind the programme.
