Covid Fall-out - Can a contractor be fired/contract ended, because it's taking a long time to finish project?

California

Contract is typical California/CSLB... Covid happened and school being out, my son had never been left alone at home before. No sitters or nannys available or allowed. This minimized my days at work yet showed up almost daily and worked as long as possible, including weekends. 4 of 10 customers asked me to leave, pack up tools, just short of finishing. First time in nearly 20 years. Embarassed and without payment/profit, this made things Much worse. Snow-balled, then unable to pay employees timely. They left, a couple have retained lawyers for payment. Everything eventually crashed and left me many thousands upside down. These horrible people were shocking in their lack of empathy. Of course the rest of the clients understrood that this was an act of God. These customers have Plenty of money but seemed to be trying to pull a fast one. Looking for an out. Each time I was within a week or even a couple of days from completion.
