What's not clear is the date (or dates) when that penalty kicks in.
At this point, it's not even clear that it WILL kick in. The fact that the contract provides for a late penalty doesn't automatically mean that a penalty will be paid. Stay tuned. One benefit I can see to the late deliver is that it will allow local drivers (shudder!) a longer period of time to get used to the tracks and assorted intricacies of the ION route. Not that this will eliminate the nonsense that we'll see once the trains start running, but it could help a bit.
