“…Project delay and disruption can be caused by a number of unforeseen activities during the construction process, which result to either an increase in the required time for completing the project [17]. In addition, once the causes of delay and disruption are identified, then they can be minimized [16].…”

“…This also agrees with the finding of Aibinu and Jagboro [26] except for the addition of disputes and claims. In addition, Akinsiku and Akinsulire [16] identified 17 effects of delay. However, they discovered that the most important effects of project delays are the same with the findings of Aibinu and Jagboro [26] -cost and time overrun.…”

Construction projects have been observed to have problems of project delays and disruptions and the South African construction industry is not an exception. This research identified causes and effects of project delay and disruption through a desktop study. Subsequently, a questionnaire was designed and used to conduct a survey to obtain the views of the three main construction project participants -clients, consultants, and contractors. The questionnaire contains 48 causes and 13 effects of project delay and disruption identified from the desktop study. This research identified sixteen most important causes of project delay and disruption and five most important effects of delay and disruption. Sixteen most important causes were: (1) strikes, (2) rework due to errors during construction, (3) shortage of materials in market, (4)

“…Akinsiku and Akinsulire [16], have suggested that proper budgetary planning must be designed to ensure proper funding for a specific project or have an alternative source in funding or project arrangement such as BOOT and BOT which allows contractors to participate in the design and financing of new projects from the beginning stage of the project itself. Other than that, they have also suggested sufficient planning and the establishment of sufficient quality control system to be put in place to avoid design changes, plus an appropriate time should be allocated so that designs are done carefully, and complete tender documents, to improve the quality of contract documents with minimum errors and avoid lack of compatibility which reduces delay during the construction stages.…”

Construction delay is a common problem in the construction industry. It is important to study this problem by investigating the overview of previous study on the issue of project delays and potential solutions to overcome it. Review of literatures shows the causes and necessary suggestions in project delays which is plaguing the construction industry in different nations. Various causes have been identified and suggestions have been poured out to minimize the problem as much as possible. Delay in projects is something that couldn't be avoided looking at the situation of the construction industry especially in developing countries. Delay in projects happen somewhere during the construction process, and some even at the point of completion of a construction project. The delivery of a construction project on time and according to the expected budget is very much needed. The unsuccessfulness on doing so, has invited many research on this issue to determine and investigate the causes and as well the effect of project delays in the construction industry. There are sectors in Malaysia that contributes to the country's economy, and the construction industry is one of it. This paper is an overview of the issue of a project delay, where the seriousness of this issue could be understood and may help to invite some researchers to proffer solution to this situation in the coming future.
