Construction delay

Construction delays are situations where project events occur at a later time than expected due to causes related to the client, consultant, and contractor etc.[1] In residential and light construction, construction delays are often the result of miscommunication between contractors, subcontractors, and property owners. These types of misunderstandings and unrealistic expectations are usually avoided through the use of detailed critical path schedules, which specify the work, and timetable to be used, but most importantly, the logical sequence of events which must occur for a project to be completed.
