        abstract = {Construction projects in India often face disputes due to complex stakeholder dynamics, vague contracts, and resource limitations. This study examines the causes and resolution mechanisms of such disputes in public and private sector projects using case studies and SPSS-based statistical analysis. Common triggers identified include payment delays, poor communication, design flaws, and approval issues. While public projects are more affected by bureaucratic and policy delays, private ones face financial challenges and informal practices.
Using descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and Mann-Whitney U tests, the research highlights sector-specific dispute patterns and recommends improved stakeholder coordination, clearer contracts, and early resolution methods like mediation or arbitration. Aligned with SDGs 9 and 16, the study advocates for resilient infrastructure and transparent governance, offering insights for policymakers and practitioners to enhance project outcomes and reduce conflicts.},
