An unexpected delay in a construction project will extend the overall duration of project activities and entails an increase in project costs. Once a project is troubled, a concerted effort is made to recover the project objectives as much as possible. The main purpose of this study is to identify the cost of delays and the implication of project recovery schedule on overall completion costs. A questionnaire review was performed to determine the key sources of delay from client, employee, and consultant views. Along with top ten most frequent factors of delay, the survey also focused on the mitigation recovery methods adopted on site by all the involved parties. Methods of project recovery shall be extended to the essential factors found which can speed up the development of delayed project. The end result is two-dimensional focusing on project recovery cost as well as types of mitigation adopted namely management and on-site approach.
