(b) describes the project schedule, a different document — the scope says what, not when. (c) describes the changes clause, which sets the pricing mechanism once work outside the scope is ordered; the scope only tells you the work IS outside. (d) describes a differing-site-conditions clause; a bare scope statement allocates no risk.
