## A submittal schedule that is not coordinated with the construction schedule is the root of most submittal-driven delay claims: the submittal arrives too late for a full review cycle to close before the installation date, and the resulting compression is then blamed on the reviewer. {note}
−## Each submittal shall be received no later than the lead time below in advance of the date the related material or fabrication is required.
+## Submittal lead time is inherently item-specific: the review-and-fabrication horizon for a stock lamp is nothing like that for a medium-voltage switchgear lineup, so no single figure can govern every product. The governing submission date for each item is the one fixed in the submittal schedule, which accounts for that item's own review cycle and fabrication lead time. The fields below set only the project-wide default minimum that applies to an item until the submittal schedule establishes a longer, item-specific date. {note}
+## Each submittal shall be received no later than the date fixed for that item in the submittal schedule or, where the schedule fixes none, no later than the project-wide default minimum below.
