Abstract: The Padma Multipurpose Bridge (PMB) represents a transformative mega-project aimed at fostering regional economic growth, enhancing connectivity, and improving socio-economic conditions in southern Bangladesh. This study explores the interconnected socio-economic and environmental consequences arising from construction delays in large-scale infrastructure projects. Data were sourced from prior research, media sentiment analysis, and household surveys, complemented by AI-based thematic analysis. This research leverages AI-driven thematic analysis to identify underlying patterns and generate insights that traditional qualitative methods may overlook. A robust conceptual framework is introduced, integrating Stakeholder Theory and Circular Economy principles to analyze project impacts. The findings emphasize the role of AI-powered monitoring systems, sustainable construction practices, and stakeholder engagement in mitigating delays. Comparative case studies, including WestConnex (Australia) and China’s Belt & Road Initiative, provide insights into global best practices. The study offers a policy framework for integrating predictive analytics in project execution, ensuring timely completion and enhanced sustainability.
