description: Delay is one of the biggest problems often experienced on construction project sites. Delays can  instigates negative effects such as increased costs, loss of productivity and revenue many lawsuits  between owners and contractors and contract termination.

There are many factors that induce delay on construction projects, however in some of  identified factors includes: lack of funds to finance the project to completion, changes in drawings,  lack of effective communication among the parties involved , lack of adequate information from  consultants, slow decision making and contractor’s insolvency, variations among others.
