If I have not began a small tenant improvement construction project and have not paid anything yet including not turning plans into the City, can I terminate the contract?

Are you the contractor or the property owner or the tenant?

You can terminate the contract but you may get sued for breach of contract. If there is a good reason to terminate the contract then your performance may be excused. Sometimes it helps to just ask the contractor if s/he would agree to release you from your obligation to perform. A lot of contractors are busy so s/he may not care. If s/he does care contact a lawyer to see what options you have, and if the lawyer can help you negotiate.
