Causes of Delays in Implementation of Projects

 

A confict between project and system can result in disequilibrium. More important, it is easier to identiy potential project ailure by recognizing the disequilibrium. I let unmanaged, disequilibrium can result in project ailure. So what types o disequilibrium mae a project a success or ailure! In almost all cases, a project"s success or ailure is attributed to one or the other o ollowing mentioned common reasons# $ %elay in handing o&er o project site i.e. 'ight o (ay )'o(*+  -noreseen ground conditions or implementation o roject, at project site+ / 0onficts between owner and other Staeholders o roject+ 1 Improper Macro 2 Micro le&el lanning o contractor during bidding stage+ 3 Improper and oor means o contracting and subcontracting wor under the roject+ 4 Inaccurate speci5cation o site conditions and project scope+ 6 -nrealistic time schedule gi&en in contract and accepted by 0ontractor+ 7 8aulty 9eo : in&estigation report+ ; Slow decisions on project issues rom the owner or poor ollow up by the 0ontractor+ $< =ureaucracy in client"s organization+ $$ Ambiguity in speci5cations and conficting interpretation o the same by parties+ $ Ambiguity in 9eneral or Special >erms and 0onditions o contract and conficting interpretation interpr etation o the same by parties+ $/ -nrealistic inspection and testing methods proposed in contract+ $1 %elay in appro&al o completed wor by client )i.e. stage passing*+ $3 %elay in appro&al o shop drawings and samples+ $4 ?on a&ailability o drawings @ designs on time by the %esign 0onsultant+ $6 0onsultant or Architect"s reluctance or change i.e. Speci5cations, %rawings, %etailing etc.+ $7 %elay in obtaining permissions 2 appro&als rom ocal Authorities+ $; oor organizational structure o client or consultant+ < 8inancial 0onstraints o contractor+ $ %elay in payment o running account bills by client to the contractor+  Inadequate eBperience o contractor i.e. technical incompetence or speci5c job+ / oor labour producti&ity+ 1 ac o control o&er sub contractor + 3 8requent change o sub contractor+ 4 oor site management and super&ision+ 6 -se o improper or obsolete construction methods+ 7 Increase in scope o wor beyond pro&isions o 0ontract+ ; 'ewor due to errors in eBecution o project acti&ities+ /< 'ewor due to change o design or de&iation order+ /$ %elay in 5nalization o rates or eBtra items+
