Which statement on constructive changes is false?

Constructive changes are contract changes which are construed from actions taken by either party, not from a change document.
Changes in projects under contract are called constructive changes if they yield benefits for both parties.
Constructive changes are a frequent cause of disputes and claims of one contract party against the other.
Field changes should be meticulously documented to avoid an interpretation as constructive change.

The correct answer is: Changes in projects under contract are called constructive changes if they yield benefits for both parties.

Constructive changes are contract changes that are initiated by one party and accepted by the other, resulting in a modification to the contract. Option B is incorrect because constructive changes are not always mutually beneficial; they can also be the cause of disputes and claims, as mentioned in option C. Option A is incorrect because constructive changes can also be made through a formal change document, not just through actions taken by either party. Option D is also incorrect because field changes are a type of constructive change and should be documented, but not necessarily "meticulously" as stated in the statement.
