It all depends on whether the Contract Programme is incorporated as a Contract Document.
Usually the Contractor agrees to complete the Works in an agreed period - that is a Contract Term.
Outside of the Contract he then submits a contract programme which describes how the dates are to be met.
It is unusual for the Programme to be incorporated as a Contract Document - if it is then all sorts of contractual shenanigins occur when a change order requires a change in the programme.
Unless your are in the NEC family when changes in the programme are accomodated.
As to the level of detail I would suggest you read some of my earlier threads - search on "Planning Abominations" to get the drift - all submitted programmes should be level 4.

On forensic claims and your subject question, normally you need to proved or demostrate on the programme on how the event or events (if mulitple) has impacted the programme / project completion date or any milestones subject to LDs and this will largely depend on how deep or detailed your approved baseline programme is.
