shall have the right / shall acquire the right


Explanation:
I believe that accrual is more used in the context of interests, although I would not doubt for one moment that Marian knows what she is talking about.

shall earn the right


Explanation:
The contractor can claim further compensation only if it EARNS it by building more than specified.

"Accrue" doesn't seem right, as accrual operates with the mere passage of time.

"Entitle", "have" and "acquire" don't seem right, as none of them necessarily require performance.
