This is a fundamental concept in construction scheduling. The lag is defined as a duration, and the duration is typically either calendar based (i.e. follows the working times and holidays of the calendar) or elapsed time based (i.e. 24/7). A sequence may only have a single lag time defined. Negative lag times are allowed. :param rel_sequence: The IfcRelSequence to assign the lag time to. :type rel_sequence: ifcopenshell.entity_instance :param lag_value: An ISO standardised duration string. :type lag_value: str :param duration_type: Choose from WORKTIME for the associated calendar-based lag times (this is the most common scenario and is recommended as a default), or ELAPSEDTIME to not follow the calendar.
