In recently years, Vietnam has been remarkably successful in expanding infrastructure construction project. After the planned economy changed to market economy, Vietnam economic development has increased considerably. The key economic zone of the South of Viet Nam is the one which has developed with the fastest speed in the whole country, including triangle of strategic economic: Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai Province and Ba Ria–Vung Tau Province, of which Dong Nai province plays an important role in the development of this zone.
During the execution of construction project, timely construction of a project was commonly considered the key of project success. Project time can be evaluated as the vital factor in project management view of point because it affects directly on the profit of project if project time delay happens.
The perception of project time management in construction industry has been applied in Viet Nam for recent years. As at that point Vietnam carried out the open-door policy to attract the investment from FDI (Foreign direct investment) projects. For this reason, it is essential to collaborate with oversea business and knowledge for Vietnam’s construction industry. However, many problems have been revealed due to the deficiency of the proficiencies in project management, such as:
- Project delays take place usually in the development projects due to deficient transmission among other parties, weather condition, social policy or other factors. It is surmised that more than 80% of projects in Dongnai Province have the problems with time project delays.
- Even projects were finished on time; there are still many claims during the execution project.
Besides, the implementation of project time management in construction industry in Viet Nam and Dongnai province does not still achieve the effectiveness. Several projects delayed for a short time while some projects have been gone on for many years. Annually, the result of water supply project delays causes the huge loss of total investment. Because clean water is indispensable for the local citizens, the delay of water supply construction projects emerges as one of the most vital problems in urban management.
Normally, the success of a project is admitted if it was completed punctually, with the reasonable cost and quality. It is proved that the finish of every construction project will be on time and under budget only if it has been managed efficiently and effectively. Particularly, several previous researchers demonstrated that at least a half of project delay causations can be avoided by a proficient policy in project management.
Mr. Vo Hoang Phuong made a case study which two objectives were to: (1) identify delay causations in water supply projects in Dongnai Province, Vietnam; and (2) develop a framework to control and prevent delays in future water supply projects.
CONCLUSION
Delay causations in water supply projects in Dongnai Province, Vietnam.
Evidently, it is found that there are several delays causation seriously affecting on time extension and cost. The impact of delays on time can be realized by the comparison between project schedule and the real situation. Throughout the research, the Nhon Trach water supply project can be considered a case study to illustrate the success in control and prevent delays causation. Figure below shows the attempt to control and prevent delays during the construction of Nhon Trach water supply project. In the initial contract, the project is expected to complete within 26 months and it has been maintained 26 months.
A framework to control and prevent delays in future water supply construction projects
In order to significantly prevent and control delays in water supply construction project, five guidelines having the most potential were considered. The result from the real situations showed that delays can be prevented and controlled by carrying out several important strategies during the implementation construction project, including accuracy design in survey and investigation site condition, communication system improvement; qualify subcontractors, the overall standardization and price escalation management strategy.
The following is the guideline to control and prevent delays in water supply construction project:

ABSTRACT
In general, completion project with destined time, cost, and quality is the basic target of construction project management. Regrettably, most water supply projects cannot be finished within intended time, budget and resources. A large amount of projects frequently performed time overruns.
Normally, time delay always happened in water supply construction project. With the purpose to solve problems, it was found that several approaches have been affected project time completion. There are many factors found as the major source leading to manage project time completion affectively.
This report summarized the delay causation factors involved in water supply construction project in Dongnai Province, Viet Nam. This research will be conducted by using qualitative research. Through a case study in water supply construction project in Dongnai Province, the data will be collected to analyze the facing problems. It was discovered from this study that there were many factors causing project time delays in water supply construction project. From the case study, effective solutions for controlling the delays will be investigated. Finally, a framework for controlling and preventing delays in future water supply construction projects is proposed.
