So they've asked me to sign the contract, keep the equipment and then take July/August off and come back in Sept when they've got new budgets.
You can't make it up.

Permies are slothlike & contractor haters, but cannot even tie their shoelaces.
I am bored, plus minted. Warchest is sitting at at least 9-12 months, plus I fancy the summer off
Do I

b) Jack it (and stick my feet up)
c) Extend for 4/5 weeks and take all of July/August off, offering to come back in Sept if they want me.
In all cases, the project is still going to hit the barrier.
