Answer: liquidated damages

Explanation: In simple words, liquidated damages refers to the damages that the parties designate with each other while forming the contract. Under this clause, the guilty party will pay the suffering party a certain amount of compensation in case of not performing an activity as per the contract.

In the given case, Carl and Jerry had a contract that Carl will build the hotel in a certain period which he fails to perform.

Hence, Carl is liable to pay liquidated damages to Jerry.
