That is going to depend entirely on the details of the situation, what caused the delay, why the work was not completed, and why a stop work notice was issued. All of those things can be caused by the conduct or failures of the contractor, the owner, the design professionals involved, or a combination. Also the terms of the relevant contracts will have an impact on the answer; for example many construction contracts have a "no damages for delay" provision. Without going over all the details there is no way to give an accurate answer.
