AbstractIn construction industry, a project is known to be successful when it meets three fundamental criteria such as finishing on time within the budget, the prescribed quality requirements such as satisfying customer’s demand and adapt safety in operation stage. Unfortunately, all of Thermal Power Plants builded in Viet Nam had problems of project management leading to their delay. Investigating these problems has become project manager’s indispensable demand. In general, the problems involved with project delays are solvable. In making effort to solve these problems, the critical factors influencing negatively on construction duration need to be discovered. Hence, it is very important to establish a systematical approach that will be used as a tool for the investigation. This report will assess and analyze twelve factors causing the delay problems in Uong Bi Thermal Power Plant was executed in the North of Viet Nam. The qualitative method, basically is based on the principle of assessing the risk level of factors impacting negatively on the progress of the project, and it is conducted to fulfill the objective of the study. Finally, some solutions dealing with project delay problems in construction executing stages are proposed.
