“…Critical delays are the delays that affect the progress of a project and modify the completion dates [9]. On the other hand, delays that occur in construction projects without affecting project completion or milestone dates are non-critical delays [23].…”

“…It is believed that delay is one of the top problems in the construction industry [7], many projects experience extensive delays and thereby exceed initial time and cost estimates [8], especially the mega or complex projects of today, with many interfaces [6]. Time is the crucial element in any construction projects, along with cost and quality [9], time overrun has become a global challenge in the construction industry [9]. Assaf & Al-Hejji, [10], further illustrates that to the owner, the delay means loss of revenue through lack of production facilities and rentable space or dependence on present facilities.…”

Completing the construction projects as per the scheduled time is an underlined issue for the success of the projects. However, several construction projects are confronted in completing within the agreed contractual project duration. In addressing influential factors contributing to delay of delivery time in construction projects, a remarkable number of studies have been conducted and published over the past decades. However, it seems that a summary and organizing of the research development in this discipline is not popularized. Therefore, this paper aims to review the existing research trend on the factors causing delays in construction projects. The review is very useful for industry practitioners and scholars to provide comprehensive and precious sources. Also, it provides a discussion, conclusion, and future research directions.

“…Although it is difficult to measure the delays on the baseline program updates this will help the contractor to ease out some of the problems until the revised programs are approved [8]. Proactive measures include quick responses to complaints from clients, requesting written confirmation on any important verbal conversation or instruction, extension of time requests on excusable delays, records on any disagreements that arise with clients or his representatives, and clarification on any instruction or change order prior to the commencement of such extra works [25]. Table 3 provides the comparison of statistical measures and discussion about the delay factors from various researchers.…”

S-Curve analysis in the construction interpreted as managing project with knowledge and traceable in the context of sustainable construction while displays the cumulative costs, labour hours or other quantities plotted against time. In the contract administration, delays in completing a construction project led to the breach of contract but, in contracts itself allow the construction period to be extended where there are delays that are not the contractor's fault. Under those circumstances, a presentation of a case-study regarding the analysis of S-Curve of a life project drew comparative interpretation of project performance towards project delivery schedule has been conducted in private initiative project. This study aims to investigate and examine the factors that cause delays in construction projects from the perspective of S-curve representations. The paper aims to provide in depth light about the existing causes of project delay and describe the key sources of financing problem and identify the consequences of contraventions of contract. Two distinct parts divided which are refers to the methods used to assess the perceptions of clients, consultants, and contractors on the relative importance of causes of delay in a project and referred to the procurement and documentation to analyse the delay. As a result, an Extension of Time (EOT) granted and identically changed the progress towards extension time where better planning demanded for improvement and restoration progress kept on track. This paper presented a practical and comparative S-Curve within extension of time to ensure delivery of project on schedule. In the long run, the identified causes are combined into 16 factors. Finally, the result of this match was brought in order to critically understand and provide a guideline to contractor in preparing EOT application and choose reliable factor based on the specific circumstances of project delay factors thorough review conducted to reveal the nature of EOT application techniques.

“…According to Yoke-Lian et al ( 2012), change orders by consultants resulting in project delay in the Malaysian construction industry is the most common reason for EoT claims. Further, Yusuwan and Adnan (2013a), in a questionnaire survey, asked respondents to rate the frequency of occurrence of eleven most contentious issues associated with EoT claims and their preferred method of dispute resolution as drawn from literature. Concurrent delay was found to be the most contentious issue associated with EoT claims.…”

Claims are considered to be one of the most serious disruptive forces to successful project delivery in the construction industry. In a small developing economy like Botswana, it is germane to identify the sources and the frequency of occurrence of claims so that the burden of project cost overrun, a hallmark of the country’s construction industry is substantially reduced. Detailed literature review and preliminary field investigations were used to identify causes of claims related to road construction projects. The study identified six major types of claim and twenty seven causes of claims. Using questionnaire as research instrument, respondents (construction industry major stakeholders i.e. clients, consultants and contractors) were asked to rank the frequency of occurrence of the types and causes of claims in road construction projects on a Likert-type scale. Relative importance index (RII) method was used to analyze the data collected from the questionnaire survey. The analysis was carried out for each group of respondents and on the overall results (all the parties combined). A total of 27 useful responses made up of nine clients, ten consultants and eight contractors) were analyzed. Findings indicated that the clients and consultants specified delay claims followed by extra work claims were the most frequent type of claims in the construction of roads in Botswana. Contractors perceived differing site conditions followed by delay claims as the most frequent type of claims. From the overall response, delay claims were ranked first followed by extra work claims. Acceleration claims were ranked least. The top five most frequent causes of claims based on overall ranking were: variation in quantities, design errors, poor site management and supervision by contractor, ineffective planning and scheduling of project by contractor, and low price of contract due to high competition. Construction industry research in Botswana has never looked into the issue of claims and yet it is one of the hidden sources of construction project failure in the country. It is perceived that hedging against the most adverse causes of claims will stem the tide of incessant cost overrun, litigation and project abandonment on road projects in Botswana.
