Delays and Cost Overruns in Infrastructure Projects: An Enquiry into Extents, Causes and Remedies
Media reports abound on instances of prolonged delays and excessive cost overruns in infrastructure projects. Only a small number of projects get delivered in time and within the budget. Examples of successful project implementation, like construction of the Delhi Metro Rail, are few and appear only far in between. Indeed, the problem of time and cost overruns in India is widespread and severe....
متن کاملSignificant Factors Causing Cost Overruns in Large Construction Projects in Malaysia
Once a construction projects fails in achieving effective cost performance, it will result to cost overmn. These ovemrns are caused from several factors which are very important to uncover for improving the cost performance. In Malaysia, not many research works have been carried out on study~ng cost performance factors. Hence, this study was conducted to identify the significant factors causing...
متن کاملCost Estimations for Large Scale Engineering Projects under Uncertainties
Cost estimation for large projects can be difficult because of many complex factors and uncertainties involved. It is often the case that only very rough guesses of actual costs may be provided. In this paper, we will examine the various types of uncertainties in the cost estimation problem of the Myrrha project. We will then use a few examples originated from the conceptual phase of the projec...
متن کاملEquilibrium Cost Overruns
Cost overruns are endemic in military procurement projects and pervasive in other areas. This paper studies a model in which the apparent cost overruns arise not as systematic expectational errors but as equilibrium phenomena. The possibility of renegotiating payments when cost overruns occur results in firms bidding below their true estimate of expected project costs. This can cause the initia...
متن کاملIdentification of Factors Causing Time and Cost Overruns in Offshore Petroleum Modification Projects
Many of the production facilities and technologies operated on the Norwegian Continental Shelf are getting older and need to be modified to maintain the production performance at the desirable level. Each modification project is unique, and therefore needs to be evaluated and verified with consideration to all specifications. However, the oil and gas industry experience shows that the execution...
