| dc.description.abstract | The primary goal is to unearth the key obstacles that impede successful project execution and propose actionable improvement recommendations. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, blending quantitative data collected through structured questionnaires and qualitative insights from interviews with project participants. 120 respondents contributed their data, then analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 26, to derive descriptive statistics that shed light on trends and patterns in project implementation practices. The analysis uncovers significant inconsistencies in the adherence to established project implementation standards, underscoring a lack of standardized procedures that negatively impact project efficiency and effectiveness. Key challenges identified include insufficient budget allocation, delays in decision-making, and inadequate procurement processes, all of which contribute to project delays, cost overruns, and compromised quality outcomes. The findings reveal a direct correlation between these challenges and the overall success of construction projects, with projects facing substantial implementation issues being more likely to be delivered late and below expected quality standards. In conclusion, this research emphasizes the urgent need for Mettu University to enhance its project management practices through targeted training, improved stakeholder engagement, and the establishment of standardized procedures. The need for these improvements is urgent, and immediate action is required to prevent further project delays and cost overruns. By addressing the identified challenges, the university can significantly improve stakeholder satisfaction.
