What is the fundamental difference between changes that are initiated by the owner and a changes claim brought by a contractor?

What will be an ideal response?


When initiated by the owner, the changes process is a means of achieving

changes claim brought by the contractor seeks increased compensation
and/or time within which to perform a project which now allegedly differs
from what the contractor had originally agreed to build.
