This paper studied a list of road construction delay factors that gathered from literature having different types of construction, different countries, different periods and different numbers of delay causes. The questionnaire survey was distributed to 118 participants (clients, contractors, and consultants) and 88 were collected. The study applied Relative Importance Index (RII) calculated to identify delay causes of road project though out ranking. Case studies on two projects have been analyzed and identified a common factor for project time delay. The result of Relative Importance Index analysis indicates that type of project bidding and award (negotiation, lowest bidder), Construction mistakes and defective work, Material and labor wage escalations (inflation), Delay in approving major changes in the scope of work and inspection delays were the top five cause of project delay.
