I've come across this situation (where a client expects our working day / time on site to be longer than the normal contracted working day) for two different employers. Both came to the same solution of awarding us time in lieu. I think the original poster has a good case to claim 15 minutes a day time in lieu while on the project he mentions. An hour is a long lunch break anyway, and it shouldn't be a great compromise to shorten it to 45 mins for this project - all part of the give and take of the business.
