In other words, delay will easily happen. Longer project completion will absolutely then cause cost overruns and may influence construction phase, and causes that occur during construction. The aim of this research is the reputation of the project participants. For appropriate plan and control, it is important to detect and analyze the factors that frequently cause delay during the construction stage.
