Charged for contract (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tense

I believe this is a double definition.

'charged' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for contract' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for tense that I've seen before include "Under emotional strain" , "past possibly" , "In a nervous state" , "Verb form indicating time" , "Uneasy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
