This scenario is in regards to contract law.
You are the recently designated Naval Air Systems Command contracting officer for a new air-to-ground missile development program. The initial design of the missile was prepared by the Naval Weapons Center China Lake. A contract for pre-production models of the missile was awarded by your predecessor and the contractor is behind schedule. In a program meeting, you learn that the guidance system on the missile isn't working up to the mission requirements. What questions do you need to ask? What contractual actions might you recommend?
