Welcome to ContractorTalk! It's customary to introduce yourself over in the Introductions forum. It helps us understand who you are, and it sometimes helps you get a friendlier reception if your first post is an "I screwed up, what should I do?" question.

If you asked about rain delays, and you were told that you weren't allowed any rain delays, and you bid the project anyway without getting an allowance for rain delays, why would you expect to be granted extra time for rain delays?
That being said, what matters is what's in the contract, the circumstances, and the local legal environment. Even time-is-of-the-essence clauses aren't necessarily set in stone. Talk to an attorney.
