Legal Question in Consumer Law in Pennsylvania

Scope Creep

Can I without a percentage of the remaining fee for a contractor who contracted to have remolding work done in three weeks and the work is going into the ninth week and still not completed. Original contract did not have any wording for withholding money if the work was not completed within the agreed to time frame of three weeks.
