Realistic estimation of project and contract duration. In future, project schedules should carefully take into account (a) actual construction period available in a year considering the potential inclement weather conditions; (b) delays in contractor mobilization; (c) longer-than- expected time spent by government agencies in procurement matters due to their limited capacity or lengthy internal approval procedures; and (d) possible flaws in the initial designs that may require additional surveys and increase the scope of the contract. Existing practice of about 18 months of construction period needs to be reviewed by the government considering that most of the completed and ongoing projects had to be extended in view of the above-mentioned issues.
