*IF* there is a practical legal recourse for this (e.g. no clauses that cover late start, no timesheet clause etc) then I think it would still not be worth it to pursue this.
The recourse through the courts is to sue the agency. If I was that agency, being taken to court by a contractor (or even the threat of going to court) would make the position untenable.
So you're risking the whole contract for 1 days worth of billing. You say the agency have done all they can, but it's the fault of a 3rd party. Take it on the chin and move one and maintain a good relationship and you might be lucky with a rate increase at extension. Be all arsey over 1 day and that's less likely.
You've refused to sign a contract amendment already. If the client hears of this they'll already have you down as someone who's being difficult, so you're not off to a great start.
