The rising climate-induced threats in coastal zones, such as sea-level rise, storm surges, and extreme weather events, create major challenges for marine engineering projects by affecting their feasibility and construction durations. The traditional scheduling methods show limited effectiveness when managing these regions' elevated uncertainty and environmental variability. The research focuses on adaptive scheduling models that address high-risk marine engineering projects operating within climate-vulnerable coastal areas. The analysis reviews various scheduling methods, including dynamic probabilistic systems and scenario-based and buffer-driven approaches, by examining global infrastructure projects affected by climate change. The review demonstrates traditional scheduling tools have weaknesses and emphasizes the necessity of scheduling models that merge time-sensitive climate information with risk assessment capabilities. The results indicate that mixed and adaptable scheduling systems create reliable systems that will become vital for coastal engineering project management in the future. The paper ends by providing implementation suggestions and outlining future research pathways.
