- Causality: Determining the relationship between the event and the delay.
- Planned vs. Actual: Comparing the original schedule with the actual progress to identify discrepancies.
- Critical Path Method (CPM) Analysis: Assessing delays by analyzing changes in the critical path.
- Window Analysis: Segmenting the project timeline into phases to analyze delays in each segment.
- Time Impact Analysis (TIA): Evaluating the impact of a specific event on the schedule.
- Forensic Schedule Analysis: A detailed investigation into the project schedule to reveal the reasons and responsibilities associated with delays.
- Root Cause Analysis: Identifying the root cause of the delay.
- Concurrent Delays: Analyzing when two or more delays occur simultaneously.
- Excusable vs. Non-Excusable Delays: Distinguishing between delays for which responsibility lies either with the contractor or with uncontrollable events.
- Compensable vs. Non-Compensable Delays: Determining if the circumstances of the delay warrant financial compensation.
- Documentation of Delays: Collecting and organizing evidence supporting delay analysis.
- Burden of Proof: Responsibility of a party to provide evidence that the delay occurred and its impact.
