The Harar Water Supply and Sanitation Project took more than 36 months to be completed and thus did not adhere to the original closing date but faced an enormous delay and caused high cost overruns. Due to the failure in completing the project within the agreed time target, there were severe problems in the socioeconomic development of the areas affected. In the view of the above, there is a need for a better understanding of the causes and effects of the delays in the construction of the Harar Water Supply and Sanitation Project.
This study assesses the causes for the delay of the project. To achieve this, a detailed literature review will help to examine previous studies in the research area and identify the major causes and effects of delays in similar project in other countries. I will also review the full report of the Harar water supply construction project. An interview survey will furthermore help to identify the factors that contributed to the delay.
