My experience has been no - they will pay when and in the amount they decide to.
I have had a number of run-ins with draw payments over the years and the only complaints they will listen to are ones from the customer direct.
The two banks I have had the most trouble with, I have put in my contract with the customer that the draw check is due within 7 days of the paperwork submission subject to a 1% (of the draw)penalty against the customer contract.
This has resulted in them being on the banks case right from the get go, and me getting a timely payment.

I've been through that
I've been through that before. You are pretty much at the mercy of the bank/mortgage company. On one I had to simply the customer who was having the house built that I wasn't going to do any more work until we got the check.
