(ii) If the contractor has progressed beyond the effective point specified in the proposed change order, the ACO must determine the earliest practical point at which the change order could be made effective and must advise the contracting officer.
(2) If a change order has been issued and the effective date has been determined to be impracticable, the contracting officer must—
(i) Issue another change order to correct, revise, or supersede the first change order; then
(ii) Definitize by supplemental agreement citing both change orders.
