I am in the process of negotiating a contract with a private company, and the money is flowdown from the Army.  They are requesting prior approval of publications and the contract states that they will provide a response with 5 business days.

In general the clause is open-ended and provides no expiration date.  At some point, there should be no limitations on the publications from the work done on this project.  The company has asked that I provide them with time frame.

Any one ever encounter this before * any ideas on what is  reasonable?
Thanks in advance.
