N2  - ABSTRACT
The construction industry in Oman has seen a significant development in growth to 
the extent that is now the second biggest economic contributor in Oman. This 
economic sector has led to developments in tourism, infrastructural amenities and 
much more in the country. However, just like other sectors of every economy, the 
construction development industry in Oman has been reported to have a lot of 
challenges with regards to delay in completion and delivery of projects, some very 
prominent factors which have been associated with delay in construction projects have 
been identified to be significant contributors even in the construction industry in 
Oman. This study was carried out to investigate the extent of the impact of this 
construction project delay factors such as client related challenges, contractor related 
challenges, administration and government related challenges on construction project 
delay in Oman, the study also investigated the relationship and dependency of these 
highlighted challenges with respect to construction project ownership. The results of 
this study have carried our empirical data analysis which have been reported as having 
no significant association and dependency on the ownership of construction projects 
by the prominent construction project delay factors reviewed. Further findings have 
been established through the empirical data analysis which have shown some of the 
delay causing factors in construction projects in Oman are more prevalent and more 
impactful on construction project completion and delivery to which necessary 
recommendations have been made to adequately mitigate them.
