Abstract
The goal of this research was to determine the factors that trigger construction project delays in Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP). The study used a descriptive and explanatory research design to accomplish this purpose, with employees of the company serving as primary data sources. Questionnaires were used to obtain the requisite firsthand details. The survey was performed using the census process, with 77 workers from EPP's construction task force filling out questionnaires. 70 questionnaires were correctly filled and returned from the distributed questionnaires. The data was analyzed using quantitative descriptive and inferential statistical methods. To model the impact of resource allocation, project planning, project monitoring, and project leadership on project completion time, a multiple linear regression was used. The study shows only two variables, resource allocation and planning, have statistically significant effects on project completion time. Resource distribution was the most powerful indicator, followed by project planning. The study proposed that a systematic project planning practice be developed and used that can grasp the major tasks that must be accomplished. In addition, the study recommended that avenues be implemented to ensure that the correct amount and quality of materials are supplied for the projects.
