Ruling: We have seen that the agreements were binding and that it was def’s doing that pl did not finish the work.
Regarding the question of reducing VAT, there are indeed strong indications from the sides’ joint calculations that at least for the main payment, a 50% reduction in VAT was planned, although in a recording we hear pl say that he is in favor of the government getting its share. However, this concession is irrelevant. When contractors talk about a reduction in VAT, they do not mean that they will pay in place of the customer, but that they will do part of the payment "off the books" so that no one will pay. We refuse to take part in such illegal actions. Therefore, def will pay VAT, and pl will provide receipts for the full amount received.

Regarding pl’s claim of 2,000 NIS a day for delay in the work, beit din rejects that claim. The contract gives a projected amount of work time for pl to finish the time. Def did not obligate herself to not take any breaks, especially a reasonable one like to bring in a designer due to the sides’ difficulty in planning jointly. In a discussion that was recorded, there was no hint of monetary demand for the stoppage (just general frustration). There are also no indications that pl had to pay workers or subcontractors for the delay (lack of predictability is a hallmark of construction work).
In total, def must pay pl 37,364 NIS including VAT due to incomplete payment.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
