If you get chance have a look at a good article by Lowsley/Sadler in Civil Engineering Surveyor July/August 2012 called 'Back to the future - the why and when of prospective delay analysis'.
There's a comparison of a few of the main forms of contract and how they deal with these topics. NEC3 ECC is of course a prospective approach and very sensible that is, though of course is far from easy. Best advice from SCL is the prospective approach too. The wait and see retrospective analysis in other forms of contract in my experience serves only to promote uncertainty, many issues merge into one and the elongated client side consideration does nothing to help this.
On the concurrency issue, lots of press on this at the moment, I like the authors' simple quote on this, in that concurrency "...can never feature under forms of contract such as NEC3, which only provide a prospective mechanism for their evaluation of additional time and money".
Simples....!
