“…Mukuka, Aigbavboa and Thwala (2015) and Prasad et al (2018) report, for instance, the challenge of the construction industry in South Africa and India to deliver works within the contractual deadline and the importance of adopting mitigation measures, and this is the subject of studies of the possible causes for delay in construction works. Hsu, Aurisicchio and Angeloudis (2017) corroborate this thesis by stating that delays in engineering projects cause innumerable challenges and problems and greatly burden the works. And, therefore, the identification of the causes of non-compliance with the original schedule is essential to avoid the continuity of delays in other stages of construction or in new ventures.…”

The delay in civil construction works is observed globally and affects the economy of countries. Therefore, identifying the causes of delays is of paramount importance to minimize their consequences. This paper aims at identifying the causes of delay in construction works and their analysis and existing correlations through statistical factor analysis. The research methodology included a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), a Survey Research through questionnaires and interviews was conducted, as well as the identification of the main causes of delay through the Relative Importance Index (RIL) and the ABC Curve. Finally, factor analysis of the causes of delay was performed, not limiting only to their identification. The results showed that the 12 identified causes are correlated to 4 delay factors, which account for 69.18% of the sample variance: supply management (21.41%); workforce management (20,79%); project management (17.64%) and management of climatic conditions (9.34%). It is concluded hereby that the delay factors mentioned herein can be considered management deficiencies in the projects and that the research has expanded the knowledge on construction delays, thus contributing to the frontier of knowledge to mitigate this problem in several countries, especially developing ones.

“…If the exact completion time of a project's activities is not known, time estimation can be made for this project thanks to PERT analysis. In this way, it will be understood whether the project can be completed in a certain time frame [75]. There are many different issues that affect the effectiveness of a project.…”

“…They resulted in 24 root delay causes grouped into five groups of external, operational, financial, site, human and equipment groups of root delay causes. (Hsu et al, 2017) used fault tree analysis to investigate the primary delay factors for a case study project. They reached 12 primary delay factors.…”

Extensive research work was conducted in relation with evaluating and ranking delay causes in construction projects, but limited research was performed to discuss the delay issue in theory. This paper discusses the theoretical basis for how delay occurs and propagates during project construction. A set of suggested assumptions were proposed to build a theoretical model for delay occurrence. These assumptions were driven from the analysis of construction project environment, and the concept of project implementation. The construction delay occurrence (PDO) model assumes that some of the root delay causes can convert by themselves and/or other triggers toward direct delay causes. Contractor management deficiency, project contract and procurement strategy, and contractor financial problems are examples of the root delay causes, which have significant influence on project delay and resource availability. The model assumes that construction resources unavailability is the underpinning driver for project delay. Graphical presentation of the PDO model is used to illustrate how delay is generated, propagated during the project life, and converted to be a real and physical delay. Interview questionnaires were used to verify the model bases. This is followed by statistical analysis to ascertain the model assumptions and Delphi technique to confirm questionnaire results. The correlation factors for the two rounds of questionnaires showed that there is a great enhancement for respondents’ answers regarding the effect of resource shortage on root delay causes. The study shows that the proposed set of root delay causes and their effect on project delay and their influence on resource availability were statistically accepted. The study results can be used as a basis for assessing root delay causes and predicting the prone of a project to delay before it starts.
