Construction delays have always been a major cause of concern for construction industry and attained focus from many researchers. Projects having long life cycle, particularly infrastructure projects, are highly uncertain in delivering projects within contractual time frame. Infrastructure projects in developing nation have seen various factors impacting the project delivery which in turn measured as overall time, cost and quality of projects. An attempt is made in this paper to understand and to identify various factors contributing to delays based on claim settlement and to see the pattern followed by these factors. In this study secondary data have been collected from reliable sources which translate verdicts of arbitration cases arise in construction industry. The collected data have been analyzed to identify the factors affecting construction project delays and reflecting in decisions of verdict. The study reveals that the factor “delay in taking approval and availing permits to the contractor from statutory authorities and handover” plays predominant role and generally resulted in monetary compensation and time extension, factor titled “delay due to change orders/change in scope of work and work stoppage” generally resulted in time extension and “delay due to late handing over of site and late delivery drawings and documents” has resulted in monetary compensation. Findings of this study enable us to exercise suitable strategy during project execution as a part of decision making.
