To be set if...
I think this refers to setting a price or amount of money (in this case, the level of compensation for delay in fulfilling a contract) - as in 'to pitch the price '. Most references refer to 'setting a price' but I feel that this can also cover setting a level of compensation, penalty payments, etc.
The verb 'pitcher' is also used in the sense of 'pitching' one's idea or project to a panel or jury.

We must pitch the price at the right level / il faut fixer le prix au bon niveau

I rather get the impression the text A pitcher si :
Un retard a eu lieu sans faute d (company) et qu’(company) du coup dépasse le 1er juillet is not actually part of the contract but a comment thereon added by someone who is not a legal eagle and does not used legal eaglese. Pitcher and du coup are hardly the kind of language one expects to find in contracts!
Du coup is easy enough to explain, but I see no "literal" interpretation of pitcher and therefore have to "fill in the gap" from context.
I assume the original contract went straight from one case (0.5%) to the next (0.7%) but the commentator wants to "attenuate" application of the 0.7% clause by introducing a condition (si ...). Of course this complicates matters, unless you have elsewhere in your document saying what happens if the delay is after July 1st and the company in question is NOT responsible for the delay.
