Project not recoverable

I am looking for any papers or books that discuss the probability that a project has a low or no probability to recover time from a series of substantial project delays by the owner and others.

I have a construction job that is greatly behind schedule due to delays by others. The owner wants a recovery schedule to finish the project per original schedule. The owner is willing to pay acceleration costs, but the project is too far behind schedule to recover to the original dates.

Thanks in advance
