    In order to achieve any organizations' project targets within the estimated time and cost, an efficient project implementation is essential. Efficient project implementation practice ensures the organization controls costs in such away that projects proceed in line with the plan and the budget. It also aids in making decisions that will enable the organization to achieve or exploit a strategic competitive advantage. The general objective of the research is to improve the project implementation pr act ice in ETC to make appropriate decisions on time and in a cost effective manner because proper project implementation is mandatory for the organization as it invests large amounts of capital in its project activities. To achieve this objective, the rese archer utilized experiences of concerned ETC staff (staffs of RCP, Cost, PMC, and Procurement) by conducting interviews, analyses of records and secondary data exploration. In this research, a case study research design (i.e. Rural Connectivity Project) was considered use fid as it was envisioned to lead to detailed illustration, insight, discovery and interpretation of the research findings. A number of problems have been observed ill ETC's project time management, in the project communication, in the project cost estimation, and generally in the project implementation practice. To overcome these problems the researcher has presented valuable recommendations for future improvements. As the result, the study will contribute towards an efficient project implementation practice that would enable the organization to implement its projects within the targeted cost and time.
