Contract with local county home improvement program

[Shc891]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nj

I entered into contract with the local county home improvement contract. as per the contract work is to start on 5/18/15 and work is to be completed on or before 6/30/15. It's a bathroom renovation 5 by 7. Now the first change order dated 7/2 says "the contract sum will be increased by this change order xxxx.xx . The contract time will be increased by 45 days". Now the second change order dated 7/2 same day as first says "the contract sum will be decreased by this change order -xxxx.xx. The contract time will be increased by 75 days." The third contract order dated 9/28 states" the contract sum will be decreased but his change order xxx.xx. The contract time will be increased by 0 days."
So the question when is work supposed to be completed by these contract and subsequent change orders.

There is a clause in our contract that states" if work has not been completed as per the date on the contract, the sum of $25.00 shall be deducted from the balance due the contractor for each day the work remains incomplete."

Who signed these change orders? Is the signing party, on both sides, on each agreement, someone with the authority to enter into an agreement on behalf of the party to the original contract?

In what order were the change orders made (specifically the two from July 2)?

At the outside, it seems the work was due for completion on September 13.
