In 2014, change orders were approved for an air quality project and EPC contract for gas fired electric power generation projects within our Non-strategic Business segment as well as a construction project within our E&C business segment. The table above excludes unapproved change orders and claims related to our unconsolidated affiliates. Our proportionate share of unapproved change orders and claims included in estimated revenue at completion was $58 million as of December 31, 2015 and $78 million as of December 31, 2014 on a project in our E&C business segment. Liquidated damages Some of our engineering and construction contracts have schedule dates and performance obligations that if not met could subject us to penalties for liquidated damages. These generally relate to specified activities that must be completed by a set contractual date or by achievement of a specified level of output or throughput. Each contract defines the conditions under which a customer may make a claim for liquidated damages. However, in some instances, liquidated damages are not asserted by the customer, but the potential to do so is used in negotiating or settling claims and closing out the contract. It is possible that liquidated damages related to several projects totaling $6 million at December 31, 2015 and $12 million at December 31, 2014 could be incurred if the projects are completed as currently forecasted. However, based upon our evaluation of our performance, we have concluded these liquidated damages are not probable and therefore, they have not been recognized.
