Seven effects of delay are (1) time overrun (2) Dispute (3) Cost overrun (4) Arbitration (5) Litigation (6) total abandonment, (7) disappointment of foreign donors. Top five minimizing methods are (1) preparing of a secured environment for project operation (2) Hiring of experienced manager, (3) effective strategic planning (4) use up-date technology utilization (5) site management supervision.
