Abstract - Delays are a common occurrence in
Construction design frequently faces persistent delays. Any task or activity that surpasses its scheduled timeframe can impact on the project's overall pace, potentially causing issues and legal disputes. As a result, it is crucial to explore and understand the factors contributing to construction delays. In the construction industry, Primavera is a widely utilized software tool for project planning, scheduling, and progress tracking. It can also be employed for assessing claims for extensions of time (EOT) and analyzing delays.
construction projects, and they can have a significant impact on the project's cost and schedule. Delay analysis is the process of determining the causes and effects of delays, and it is an essential tool for identifying responsible parties and recovering costs. Comprehensive studies that systematically compare and assess the practical applicability and limitations of various delay analysis methods within the context of Road construction Addressing this research gap is crucial for refining delay analysis practices in Road projects and ensuring that project delays are accurately identified, attributed, and mitigated. Such studies would not only contribute to academic discourse but also provide practical insights that could significantly improve project management and dispute resolution processes in road construction. This research endeavors to enhance understanding and knowledge by evaluating commonly employed Delay Analysis techniques (DATs) through the examination of a real-time road case study project. This study focuses on three specific Delay Analysis Techniques (DATs) within the context of a road project. Primary data sources are utilized to conduct and document the study, enabling the identification of key sources of project delays. The selected DATs—impact as-planned (IAP), Time Impact Analysis (TIA), and Window Analysis (WA)— were endorsed by the SCL protocol, and then employed on the dataset. The implementation of these techniques utilizes Primavera P6 software. Subsequently, a thorough comparative analysis is performed on the obtained results. The assessment of various DATs has led to the conclusion that the window analysis methodology is a more accurate method because it incorporates site progress and is gives reliable results. This knowledge can be invaluable in mitigating the risks associated with delays and disputes during construction.
The aim of this study is to enhance our understanding of Delay Analysis Techniques (DATs) by examining their application in a real-time road case study. To achieve this, we conducted a thorough literature review, critically assessing various DATs and selecting three Techniques for this study. We chose a specific road design project, namely, the Baroda Main Road to Malpura via Chondpur, as our case study. The primary sources of information include insights shared by professionals who were involved in this project and related data on delays.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW SelvaKumar and Manishankar (2020), The paper discusses the use of Primavera software for delay analysis in highway construction projects. A delay analysis is used on Case study of four Laning of Cholapuram – Thanjavur section of NH-45C highway construction project length is 47.835 kms. Including 184 nos. structure works in the state of Tamil Nadu. A total of 8 types of delays were considered in highway construction projects. The paper concludes by discussing the benefits of using Primavera for delay analysis and the temporary worker has implemented an updated development schedule in compliance with the contract terms, resulting in an extension of the completion time by 364 days.[1]
