any eventual increase in workmanship/labor cost is capped at 5%


Explanation:
or
a 5% cap is applicable to any eventual increase in the cost of workmanship
or
unforseen (english of the italian imprevisti) labor cost increases are capped at 5%
to cap is to top off, to limit, and is much used in business and financial lingo. Some examples and links follow.
