construction projects in many countries across the globe. Delays can be caused by
one or more of the following: the client (excusable with compensation); force majeur
or third party (excusable delays without compensation); or the contractors (non-excusable
delays or contractor-responsible delays). Previous studies cited that
approximately 50% of these delays can be classified as non-excusable delays. The
root-causes (or factors) that cause non-excusable delays identified in these studies
