Hi Shachar,
"Without knowing the details..." You don't need any more details, you hit the nail on the head. The question is, who would take such a project?
Actually, that's an easy one.

Assuming the penalties are capped by the amount you are supposed to receive (i.e. - you do not end up owing them money), someone who wants to build up their resume and without a likely source of income for the coming five weeks can actually turn a profit on this job, whether he makes it on time or not. The profit is, of course, non-monetary.
I'm sorry Shachar, you are not being devious enough:

1. Offer quote that say you'll do it for 100k$ if on time, 25k$ if delivered in 10 weeks, and 1k$ if failed to deliver after 10 weeks.

Assuming they take it:

2. Wait 10 weeks
3. Profit!

Gilad :-)
