Don't get your panties in a bunch just yet, everything will be just fine.

Like both legislative statutes and regulations promulgated by government agencies, executive orders are subject to judicial review and may be overturned if the orders lack support by statute or the Constitution.
I think that is more driven by the companies doing the work on those projects looking to cut their losses. When the EOs do kick in, the projects will stop. Why work on it for another 30 days only to stop later? It would be an inefficient use of company resources, and those are generally private companies.
That doesn't track. If you are paid up through the 30 days, that is a month you and your workers are paid. You dont cut out and leave money on the table unless you have to.
That’s fair, assuming the arrangement calls for them to be paid up or paid in advance.
