Spanish term or phrase: causa continua de demoras
Buenos días,
Tengo una duda con el siguiente texto y me gustaría confirmar si mi traducción del término consultado sería la más apropiada.

No se considerará prórroga por retrasos a menos que la presentación de la solicitud escrita se haga al Supervisor dentro de los siete (7) días posteriores a la ocurrencia del retraso reclamado. En el caso de causa continua de demoras sólo un reclamo será necesario. Esta cláusula no excluye la recuperación por daños o perjuicios por demoras imputables a cualquiera de los Contratantes, bajo otras disposiciones en los documentos de contrato.

My try "continuous reasons for delay"

ongoing cause for delays


Explanation:
Translation:

In the event of an ongoing cause for delays, only a single claim (request? submission? notification?) shall be necessary.

Ongoing cause is a common phrase in English. See the below results in Linguee:

Cause for delay is also quite common, but you can also say cause for delays to emphasize various delays being caused. See the below:

continued delays for the same/a single reason....


Explanation:
I think the point is that only one claim is necessary if the delays keep happening for the same reason.
