It has been a general observation that the real estate construction projects get delayed and thus have substantial time over-runs. Currently, the Building construction sector contribute share of around 6.0 % in the growth of India’s GDP in 2018 which is 20% growth from the 2005-2006. Such is the gravity of the problem that delays alone cause shelving of major projects even before they are actually executed. Real estate projects in India are currently worth around US $135 Billion in 2019. Also a huge number of these projects are getting delayed invariably. This is indicative of the fact that the causes of delays and their implications on the cost and time overruns warrant the need of studying. This study covers the various causes of delays in detail, as well as delays which are caused at various stages of the project. The study basically carries a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the causes of the delays. It establishes a link to the analysis of the delays in order to quantify the severity of each type of delay with respect to the time over run.
