Delay is one of the main challenges of construction projects, and there is still much to overcome in order to reach near zero delay in all construction projects. This project aims to conduct a systematic critical review including a bibliography analysis on delay literature in construction. The main questions consider what has been learnt from a decade investigating delay causes and effects in the construction literature and what factors have been missed in the literature. This paper also presents a new and challenging question regarding how digital tools and associated technologies may prevent any delay in construction projects, which can change the research direction from delay investigations to identifying prevention factors. The paper identifies the delay dataset, including 493 papers investigating delay in construction, and establishes a specific dataset of papers focusing on delay effects and causes (DEC), including 94 selected papers covering different factors examined in over 29 countries such as Iran, India, Turkey, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Cambodia, Oman, Malaysia, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, the US, the UK, and Egypt. In addition, the paper identifies 30 critical factors with the frequency of occurrences over three times in the DEC dataset and computes their medians of ranking. This paper also discusses digital tools and methods that can be used for delay analysis and preventions, including MS Project, Oracle Primavera P6, and Open Plan by Deltek. The paper discusses the project schedule delay analysis from project management methodology perspectives. It also discusses the current method's limitations and future directions, which are based on the identification of the deficiency areas. In total, four overlooked factors are identified and suggested, including faulty data analysis, unmatched structure of the research questionnaires with new knowledge and standards [e.g., Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)], overlooked effects of digital technologies [e.g., Digital twin, Navisworks, Building Information Model (BIM), Geographic Information System (GIS), and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)], and ignored job-site technologies. In addition, the paper presents the DEC model for future studies, including four main key factors. These factors are resources (e.g., project budgets, labour, material, equipment, and digital tool), project context, stakeholders performance (e.g., owner/client, consultant/designer, contractor, vendor/supplier), and external factors (e.g., ground condition, site location, regulation, natural disaster), which may significantly affect delay prevention and should be concurrently considered in the future delay investigations, since they may be required for designing an effective mitigation strategy when these proof points are identified. This would significantly help to utilise digital systems to prevent time overruns in different construction contexts. Several cases of 24 projects were delayed more than 100% of contract duration [44]. Indonesia 38% o...

“…From a managerial viewpoint, in Brazil, Brazil, [13] noted that the top four factors affecting CTO were linked to labor such as rework, low labor productivity, lack of skilled labor, and their low qualification. Changes in price and inflation were the top ranked factor resulting from this study [40]. Furthermore, in contrast to major construction firms in developing countries, there is dominant and increasing business failure in construction due to various issues such as financial challenges.…”

Construction delays are a major issue in Egyptian construction projects. Delays are the costliest part, and finishing a project on schedule benefits all project partners. Healthcare facilities developments in Egypt, like all other construction projects, are usually delayed. Buildings for healthcare facilities are regarded as one of Egypt's most important construction projects. Therefore, it's essential to study and analyze factors causing delays in these buildings' construction. This study retrieved from the literature a list of delay factors in developing countries, especially Egypt. From 2000 to 2022, 127 relevant documents were discovered in Scopus and Web of Science databases and submitted to PRISMA protocol criteria. A list of factors was compiled from nine studies that met the effect summary analysis requirements. construction experts' feedback was obtained through interviews. This list was exposed to a questionnaire from experienced consulting engineers.Findings were compared to previous Egyptian researches. Accordingly, financial considerations, change orders, pricing variations and fluctuations, and a lack of contractor expertise were the most significant contributors.

“…The change of order was the top cause of delay in a study conducted in Taiwan which was based on the application of the RII [22]. Multiple studies have been done on the Iranian region in terms of causes and delay [23][24][25][26][27][28]. Other similar studies were conducted in Ghana [29,30], South Africa [31][32][33], Singapore [34,35] and Palestine [36,37], Libya [38], Nigeria [39][40][41], India [42][43][44], Taiwan [45,46], UAE [47], Egypt [48][49][50][51], Oman [52], Pakistan [53][54][55][56], Malawi [57], Zambia [58], Jordan [59], Malaysia [60][61][62][63], Turkey [64][65][66], Syria [67], Vietnam [68], Kenya…”

There have been many studies done on the causes of delay on construction projects and building projects all around the world. They use different methods, on different geographical areas, and they come up with different results. There are, however, few studies on industrial and building projects. This paper focuses on industrial/manufacturing projects in Saudi Arabia. The aim of this paper is to identify the major causes of delay in the manufacturing projects in Saudi Arabia. The top causes of delay have been identified through a literature survey and interviews with experts from the industrial field in Saudi Arabia. Twenty-two factors have been identified and listed in a survey that was distributed to professionals in the same field. Two categorizations were made: the first is based on the impact of the cause, and the second is based on the frequency of occurrence of the identified cause. It has been found that the top five impacted causes of delay in the delivery of industrial projects in Saudi Arabia are: difficulties in financing project by contractor/manufacturer, late procurement of materials, late delivery of materials, delay in progress payments, and delay in approving design documents, respectively. In terms of frequency, the top five identified causes are: delay in progress payments, difficulties in financing project by contractor/manufacturer, slowness in decision making, late procurement of materials, and delay in approving design documents, respectively. The diversity of the participants is an important point; therefore, the respondents were from different job positions (management, engineering, etc.), and different categories (contractor, owner, manufacturer, consultant, etc.). It is worth noting that this paper serves not only as an authentic study of the causes of delay in the delivery of industrial projects in Saudi Arabia which is a field that is not widely covered, but also as a fresh paper that gives an indication of the changes that happen to the business over time as compared to previous work.
