Common Delay Analysis
Methodologies
The common delay analysis methods - which are categorized as per their
charcteristics - are depicted in Table 1 below.

Highlighting the facts occurred during the course of the projects, Windows Analysis
which compute and apportion the delays retrospectively - is the most preferred delay
analysis methods [1]. Table 2 below illustrated the requirements of the foregoing
delay analysis methods.

Table 2 Requirement of delay analysis methods


Procedure of Windows
Analysis
Periodical delays or improvements of Windows Analysis are computed via periodic
assessment of variance between the completion date of schedule updated and
completion date of As-Planned Schedule. However, apportioning the delays require
in-depth elaboration of each window. The window period should be chosen as small
as possible so that the fluctuations in the critical path are minimized. Otherwise, total
delays and improvements computed by considering the variation between the
completion date of schedule update and as-built schedule doesn’t match with the
result obtained from window elaboration.

Elaboration of critical activities


in windows
If activities falling into concerned window are on CP in the schedule which is
updated as of commencement date of the window, delays or improvements are
computed by comparing these activities between successive schedules which are

updated as of the beginning and the end of the concerning window [1].
Figure 1 Representation of the methodology of the windows analysis

Capabilities of considering the dynamic nature of the CP and actual work progress
are the fundamental strength of this method [2]. The procedure of the windows
analysis is depicted as follows;
Step 1: Compute the delays
and improvements for the First
Window
Step 1.1
Develop a baseline schedule. Divide the total period of a construction project into
digestible periods which is also named windows or snapshot [1], [3]. Windows size
can be selected according to schedule updates, milestones or major delay events [1].

Step 1.2
Obtain the first schedule update updated as of end date of the first window including
owner’s delays, contractor’s delays and delays resulting from acts of God. Update
data should include actual start, actual finish (for completed activities), % completion
and remaining duration. Please note that schedule update date should be 1 day 2023

the end date of the window.
Step 1.3
Detect the activities on Critical Path via first schedule update through 1st schedule
update.

Step 1.4
Detect and apportion the delays by comparing the activities on the Critical Path (CP)
detected in the first schedule update with the baseline schedule for the first window.

Step 2: Compute the delays

Step 2.1

Obtain the second schedule update updated as of as of end date of the second
window.

Step 2.2
Detect the activities on Critical Path via 2nd schedule update.
Step 2.3
Detect and apportion the delays by comparing the activities on the Critical Path (CP)
in the first schedules window and second schedule update.

Step 3
Repeat step 2 for the other windows
Outcomes obtained from each window constitute overall project delays.
Delays and improvement are detected and apportioned by analyzing the activities on
CP through following sections
• Early and Late Commencement and Finish date of Activities → Non-Excusable Delay
• Duration Change → Non-Excusable Delay
• New Activities in the Schedule Update → Non-Excusable Delay or Excusable
Compensable Delay or Excusable Non-compensable Delay
Possible sources concerning delays and improvement are depicted in Table 1 below.
