This study was carried out based on the literature review and a questionnaire survey. A total of six groups were contributed to the main cause of construction delays, six factors that effects delays and six methods of minimizing infrastructure project delays were identified based on literature review. A questionnaire survey was distributed to the randomly respondent in Malaysia.
