Not sure why you were only submitting an "eight week look ahead" programme. Contract requires a "full" programme which would be issued shortly after contract award (within the period stated in CD1). Once you have a first Accepted Programme, then you have to submit regular revised (full) programmes at the interval stated in CD1 which is normally every four weeks or every month. If you have been denied access then that would be a compensation event which you should notify, and once agreed it is one submit a quote showing the cost and the time effects against the Accepted Programme. Any further lack of access or any other compensation events should then be assessed on their own merits and any further impact captured against the Accepted Programmme.
Sounds like neither Party has done what they should have done here and you have little choice but to go back in time and demonstrate this process retrospectively but in accordance with the rules of the contract.
There is no such thing as an "extension of time claim" under NEC contracts - they have to be captured specifically against individual compensation event(s).
