        abstract = {Construction projects around the world continue to face delays that cause time overruns, cost increases, and strained relationships between project stakeholders. Delays occur due to multiple interrelated factors, such as poor project planning, inadequate resource allocation, design changes, contractor inefficiencies, and external issues such as adverse weather or regulatory approvals. The present study aims to investigate the main delay factors in construction projects and to analyze their statistical significance. The research methodology includes a review of the literature, data collection through structured questionnaires and secondary project records, and the application of statistical tools such as descriptive statistics, correlation, regression, and ANOVA. Phase I of the study involves reviewing existing literature, developing a methodology framework, and identifying preliminary findings. The outcomes will provide a structured approach for Phase II, where comprehensive data collection and statistical modeling will be applied to rank delay causes and propose mitigation strategies. The study is expected to contribute to improving project planning and management practices, thereby reducing delays in construction projects.},
