Abstract: Construction projects are usually suffering from the risk of delayed completion. Delay analysis is utilised to evaluate and apportion delays and thus liabilities can be assigned. This research introduces the available delay analysis methods along with their capabilities and limitations. Also, the research provides a guide for selecting the appropriate delay analysis method. Still, some problematic issues may influence schedule delays' analysis, revealing that there exists a gap in handling such analysis. Hence, a questionnaire is designed which intends to propose the idea of standardising the project decisions when facing such issues. After collecting the 394 participants' responses, the contractor should reject to accelerate the work progress until gaining the compensation entitlement as a result of employer-caused delays. Also, the results illustrate the contractor's entitlements and project decisions when facing such problematic concerns. Different from previous papers, the findings of this paper propose a standard way of thinking towards these problematic issues.
