Delay & disruption

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.

  • Planned versus actual progress assessment
  • Review of change, disruption and programme impact
  • Support for extension of time and delay-related discussions
  • Structured analysis to clarify programme and commercial position
