ABSTRACT & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Empirical analysis of 14 mega-infrastructure projects indicates that early steering committee risk trigger thresholds reduce severe schedule delay events by 40%.

Structured empirical case dataset mapping risk thresholds, decision rights response times, and cost overrun prevention metrics across 14 capital infrastructure projects.

KEY EMPIRICAL FINDINGS

  • [01]Escalation response times under 7 business days correlate with zero budget breach incidents.
  • [02]Unclear decision rights between project directors and ministry oversight cause 55% of delay costs.
