There is no such thing as deemed acceptance of the programme in NEC3, it simply doesn't exist. There is only deemed acceptance of compensation event notifications and quotations and only then when this is triggered by the Contractor reminding the PM that he hasn't replied. As an aside NEC4 has introduced deemed acceptance of the programme but it sure as heck isn't there in NEC3.
If it's been accepted then that's exactly what it is. I suggest that the next time the Contractor submits a revised programme for acceptance with only half the scope in it that the PM rejects it. if the Contractor hasn't submitted a revised programme when he should have then the PM has the right to assess any compensation events.
