Abstract

Construction projects contribute to economy growth significantly in any country. However, these projects
are faced by delays frequently, especially for roads. This paper aimed at reviewing causes and sources of delay in road
construction projects. Furthermore, the most important causes of delay in the literature have been reviewed and listed in
their proper groups. The results revealed five major groups causing delay which are: contractor, owner, equipment,
material and equipment and sponsor. Furthermore, based on the findings of previous works, one factor placed in first
position was contractor-related, three owner-related, three external-related, one resource-related and one shared
between project parties.
