Abstract

Delays in project schedules can have far-reaching consequences, often leading to time and cost overruns, disputes, legal proceedings, and in some cases, project abandonment. According to Sambasivan and Soon (2007), these delays are insidious and can wreak havoc on project timelines and budgets. Clough (1986) further emphasises the detrimental effects of delays, noting that clients may suffer financial losses or hardships if projects exceed their specified completion times. Additionally, contractors bear the brunt of delay-related costs, including standby expenses for idle workers and equipment, disruptions to construction and material delivery schedules, and increased overhead expenses. The collective findings highlight the multifaceted impacts of schedule delays on both clients and contractors, underscoring the importance of proactive management strategies to mitigate their adverse effects.
