TL;DR
This paper describes how to transform that “penalty problem“ into a closely related “constraint problem” like (1), which differ in subtle ways but are connected via the Lagrange multiplier theorem.

This paper axiomatizes an intertemporal version of multiple-ptiors utility that is consistent with a rich set of possibilities for dynamic behavior under ambiguity and argues that dynamic consitency is intuitive in a wide range of situations.
