Let's define intrusion as interfering in someone's private life, personal space, or thoughts in an annoying or offensive way.
As an example, let's say that a neighboring property owner claims the survey activity is taking place on his or her property when we are working in the public right-of-way. The police are called, and the project is delayed.
Is that enough reason for billing the intruder for the delay?

Bill him or (me) all you want. I'm never going to pay the bill. It will cost you more to try and get paid. I also doubt any court will find in your favor were you to take it that far.
Do you mean: billing the client for the unwarranted (false intrusion claim) delay? Sorry if I'm not reading this correctly, but it sounds like it is the survey crew that is the perceived intruder? Or is the client trying to bill YOU for the delay?
Billing whomever is delaying our project. Not the client.
