I would assume they don't need permission, they just wanted a contract saying they would be paid if they found it.
Also the estimated odds are 85%, so it's not a bad gamble.
And the 90 limit is because the reward goes up depending on how long it takes, so they needed to set an upper limit.

With the vast ocean they're searching, this would be a tough assignment even without a limit. Plus, you're likely right on the contract, other than prestige and possible later contracts on other such operations, there wouldn't be much money in finding aircraft scraps. Oh well, interesting story all in all.

That's a big risk, only getting paid if you find it. And ...
If this airplane is out there in the middle of nowhere ... and your odds of finding are almost nil ... I wonder why you need someone's 'permission' to search in the first place, and why the time frame is so limited.
