There are number of factors such as funds unavailability at the proper time,unavailability of skilled manpower, incapability of management to manage projectproperly, lack of commitment from project team and problems in the of supply of rawmaterial on time. By understanding the causes of cost and time overruns, we cancontrol cost and time overruns in engineering projects. These overruns may be due toexternal or internal factors that make engineering projects to delay and over budget.The main
