You can sue the architect for breach of contract for failure to complete the work and missing the deadline without paying additional sums.
Your damages (monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) would include consequences of the architect failing to complete the work, missing the deadline, etc. including costs you incur due to the architect's breach of contract.
