In this paper, the author presents a logbook on the current state of controversies related to requests for extension of time in the framework of public works. Firstly, the general aspects of this legal remedy are explained. Secondly, the main controversies arising in arbitral proceedings are commented on, based on the contrast between the position that some public entities usually take to deny an extension of time, as opposed to what is regulated in the law, what is developed by doctrine and what is resolved in arbitral awards. The aim is to verify the basis of what is stated by public entities.

In this article, the author intends to demonstrate, through specific cases, that the custom in the construction sector (Lex Constructionis) is increasingly immersed in the Public Administration, being recognized as a supplementary regulatory source in public works contracts, by the State Procurement Law. Overcoming the idea that the custom does not has a place in public law. Likewise, it seeks to demonstrate that the responsible and reasonable importation of custom in the construction industry has not violated in any way the legality that governs public works contracts, but, on the contrary, has nurtured and strengthened it, in benefit of the public interest and of the contract administrators, who are, ultimately, the end users of the public infrastructure.
