Abstract
Construction projects in terms of exceeding time and costs, and these negative effects are reflected in aspects of life, and on society as a whole, which calls for the need to study this phenomenon by identifying the main reasons for the delay in completing construction projects within the required time period. Among the construction management determinants, a project can be considered successful if it succeeds in achieving the following three things:
1. Completion of construction with the required quality
2. Completion of construction on time
3. Completion of construction within budget.
In many cases, two out of three can be achieved and three out of three cannot be achieved, due to the complexities involved in construction contracts, especially if the trades and professions required by the project are multiple. Payment delays in public sector projects are a critical concern that can significantly impact the successful execution of these initiatives. Public sector projects, which encompass a wide range of endeavors, including infrastructure development, public services, and government contracts, are often subject to delays in the processing and disbursement of payments to contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. These delays can have significant implications on both the timeframes for project completion and the overall costs associated with these endeavors. Payment delays in public sector projects can have significant consequences on both time and cost. These delays can arise from various sources, including bureaucratic processes, budgetary constraints, or contractual disputes.
This study can be divided into three phases:
1. literature review, analysis of data collection using a structured questionnaire through academic experts and professionals who involved in public sector construction projects.
2. The second part is to list the identified causes of delay in payment in public sector construction projects.
3. The third part is to determine the effects of delaying in payment which will harm to a construction project
