{{Short description|A situation where construction starts or concludes at a later time than expected}}
'''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.<ref name=sanni-a>Sanni-Anibire, M. O., Mohamad Zin, R., & Olatunji, S. O. (2020). Causes of delay in the global construction industry: a meta analytical review. ''International Journal of Construction Management'', 1-13.</ref> 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 method|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.
