Delay and disruption that need to be understood before discussions harden.
When progress has drifted from the programme and change, disruption or sequencing problems are affecting delivery, the question becomes commercial as well as technical. Start 2 Finish provides structured delay analysis and progress review so teams understand their position — planned versus actual, the impact of change, and where the real exposure lies — before delay discussions become harder to manage.
When delay analysis is the right next step
Progress no longer reflects the original programme assumptions
Change, variation or late information is affecting the plan
Disruption or constrained access is impacting productivity
Delay or entitlement discussions are approaching and need clarity
Leadership needs an independent read before positions harden
What the analysis clarifies
Planned versus actual progress and where the plan has diverged
The programme impact of change, disruption and external pressure
Which events are critical to the completion date
A defensible, structured basis for delay and EOT discussions
A clearer commercial position before talks intensify
How Start 2 Finish can help
Delay analysis is a structured, evidence-led exercise — not a contest of opinions. Support is shaped around the specific issue, the contract route and the level of analysis the situation requires, from a targeted progress review to a fuller delay position assessment.
