When they arise, they need to be evaluated quickly and managed efficiently. When any degree of complexity is introduced to the mix it can become particularly difficult for project staff, who are overworked while dealing with site issues and other project pressures, who may be untrained in forensic analysis or programming skills. This often manifests itself as a poor strike rate in achieving extensions of time entitlements by contractors or, when the employer’s team lacks these skills and awareness, a record of granting excessive extensions of time to contractors. Through this paper, it is observed that nowadays client-related issues along with improper planning in most projects are the principal reasons affecting time overrun in the scheduling of any construction project. Time overrun in construction scheduling affects both the cost and time. If the schedule of the project is delayed then automatically the project duration increases. If the project duration increases, the overall cost of the project increases and therefore the productivity of the project gets reduced UR - https://indianinstituteofarchitects.com/pdf/jiia/2024/JIIA_September_2024.pdf ER -
