Abstract— To discover the key causes of construction project delays in India; the major causes of delays from thisresearch study were studied following data collecting using a questionnaire survey with a wide range of constructionprofessionals based in High-rise Projects. The findings of this study used an importance index to determine the majorcauses of delays, and the main conclusions drawn from the data could aid the construction industry in better assessingnot only the major causes of delays on construction projects, but also how to minimize them through proper planning.The importance of safety leadership is sometimes disregarded in guidelines, despite its importance in ensuring the safeimplementation of working procedures.Apart from addressing the rising demand, Delay issues can be avoided in the current context by appropriate decisionmaking throughout the construction process, although more research is required. This might include studies ondecision-making processes, the substance of training programmes for construction site managers, the importance ofprogrammes in developing a more trained workforce, and the potential for wider usage of pre-cast materials, amongother things. This study looked into the reasons behind construction project delays in India during the epidemic.Because high-rise projects are such an important component of the city, they must be completed as soon as possiblefor public benefit. Almost all of India's projects are behind schedule. Delay is widely regarded as the most common,complicated, and dangerous problem in building projects. Overruns in time describe the majority of building projectsin developing countries. Deadlines and unpredictability plague all initiatives, regardless of their size or complexity.Every construction project experiences delays, and the extent of these delays varies greatly from project to project.This study conducts a thorough evaluation of prior studies on time and cost overrun drivers.Keywords—Low Rise & High Rise Buildings, Cost-benefit analysis,
