Durdyev, S. and Hosseini, M.R., 2019. Causes of delays on construction projects: a
comprehensive list. International Journal of Managing Projects in Business.
There are several reasons that may impact the construction project. The aim of the article
is to identify the reasons that can hamper the construction project execution. The causes behind
construction project delay can be due to inadequate planning, improper site management, lack of
contractor experience, improper communication process and inability of sub-contractors and
clients financial manager to organize the site. However according to a study it has been observed
that lack of financial support leads to hampering the development of construction projects. The
article has focused on identifying the key causes that are responsible for project delays. It is
important to identify each reason affectively so that it can help in meeting getting the disease.
Apart from this it has also been observed that the weather factor is also a key reason behind the
project delays for construction project. It has been observed that due to bad weather condition
several projects got delayed in USA. Thus before starting a project it is important to analyze all
the factors efficiently so that the chances of delays can be reduced with in the construction
projects.

Construction industry is one of the essential sectors that improve economy of land
country. However it has been observed that there are certain factors that have the potential to
impact the execution of a construction project. According to the author Khattri et al. (2016),

typically includes the time overrun, negotiation, total desertion, litigation, lawsuit, abandonment
and dispute. Due to lack of proper control and management it becomes very difficult to manage
the overall performance of the construction project. Improper management can hamper the
overall execution. According to the author Khattri et al. (2016), it is important to successfully
manage the construction projects effectively so that it can reduce the chances of delays. These
factors have the potential to hamper the overall execution of the project. The article has
evaluated the reasons effectively so that it becomes easy to draw ways through which the
challenges can be mitigated. Thus it can be stated that with the help of this article it will become
easy to understand the reasons behind the delay within construction project. The delay needs to
be managed effectively within the construction project so that it becomes easy carry out projects
effectively. The construction project needs to have proper mitigation so that it becomes easy to
mitigate the issues. Hence through the article it becomes easy to understand the concepts that can
influence the construction projects.
Surendran, K.V. and Shankar, C., 2017. Identification of influencing factors causing
Delays in Construction project by Factor Analysis.
Construction delay is a factor that is needed to be measured effectively so that it becomes
easy to resolve the challenges faced by the construction industries. It has been observed that the
delay in construction projects can lead to hampering the project achievements in the terms of
quality, cost and the time. According to the author Surendran and Shankar (2017), once a project
gets delayed then it becomes very difficult to stick to the estimated time and budget. Thus in
order to reduce the delays it is essential to have proper measures that will be capable of
protecting the projects from facing major delays. The key factors that hamper the successful
execution of Construction projects are the time and cost over runs the issues, improper
