Abstract

The construction industry sector has ranked third after the tourism and communications sectors in 2017 in the contribution toward the Egyptian economy. Moreover, it was found that the construction industry’s contribution to the GDP of Egypt was 4.8%. Even though, there are several reasons to study the time overruns problem in the
construction industry, especially in Egypt; however, there is not a sufficient amount of research that was conducted on this topic. Therefore, the aim of the research is to investigate the main causes of time overruns in the construction industry in Egypt in the last ten years. The research methodology in this study is the pragmatic
paradigm using mixed design method in collecting data. A list was conducted using RII including the top 10 causes of delays in Egypt's construction industry from previous Egyptian literature regarding the topic. An online survey was distributed to industry experts and answered by 29 respondents to provide the probability
and impact of each risk from previ
