"Expected to be" is not the same as "will only be", and that's the sort of thing that gets decided by a judge. (The existence of the additional charges language does weaken that argument a bit since if "expected to be" really was meaning that things could happen outside of those hours, then you wouldn't need to reference those MSA terms.) IANAL, but have written more than my share of SOWs and contracts of this type. Drafters tend to always default to the position of greatest optionality for them. Hence, "expected to be".
