| dc.description.abstract | The Adey Abeba National stadium was one mega project in Ethiopia which the public was anticipating to see its completion on time. The project was launched in 2016 and planned to be completed in two separate phases at a total cost of 8 billion birr. The project’s first phase was completed in 2018 but, its second phase which was launched in 2020 is yet at 11% completion consuming 120% of the time schedule. This study was conducted to reveal the determinant factors that caused the delay of the project. A descriptive research design was followed to quantitatively find the causes and rank them as per their importance. Data were gathered both from primary and secondary sources through a questionnaire survey and documents scanning. In the survey stratified 33 respondents were participated representing three major stakeholders: the client, the contractor and the consultant. The study used the Relative Importance Index (RII) for ranking the causes of the delay of the project. The survey findings revealed that the top ten factors that caused the project’s delay are: (1) Shortage of foreign currency, (2) The COVID-19 pandemic, (3) Escalated inflation, (4) Dynamic foreign currency exchange, (5) War at the time of the construction of project, (6) delay in materials delivery, (7) political instability within the country, (8) Unavailability of utilities, (9) Complexity of project design and (10) Improper project planning and scheduling. Furthermore, a correlation test have been made to find whether there is a significant agreement among the stakeholders and the overall respondents in ranking the causes of the delay. The study suggested that the stakeholders of the project in general and the government and its policymakers in particular, must devise mechanisms (policies) that bring a multi-alternative foreign currency source and curve the ever-increasing inflation. Development of the decision-making capacities of the various authorities is also another essential factor.
