Construction industry is prone to disputes resulting in the Extension of Time (EOT). Numerous studies were conducted to improve delay analysis methods; however, the construction industry still suffers from the dispute stemming from EOT. Unresolved dispute concerning EOT ends up in time and cost overrun in projects as well as deteriorate the relationships of the contracting parties. Therefore, resolution of EOT issues in a timely fashion is very crucial. Thus, this study intends to detect the major problems stemming from delay analysis methods. The unstructured interview was conducted with 7 experts and their opinions were evaluated via content analysis to detect the common theme of the experts’ views. This study is unique in that it reveals the drawbacks of the existing delay analysis which were not detected by the existing studies. Therefore, it is highly believed that study will pave the way for future study improving delay analysis methods.
