I'm a little confused by the options. "Consequential loss" and "direct loss" don't seem to quite capture the essence of what's happening here. I'm leaning towards "default" as the best answer, but I'll need to think it through carefully.

I'm pretty confident this is a case of "damages." When one party breaches a contract, the other party can seek damages to compensate for their losses. That seems to fit the situation described here.

Okay, let's see. The contract was successful for two years, but then Cyril Engineering failed to fulfill their obligations. I'm thinking this might be a case of "default" - where one party doesn't meet the terms of the agreement.
