Abstract
In long-term construction projects with complex work interfaces, disputes that arise during construction often leave contractors unable to complete the work within the contractually agreed timeframe. This results in varying degrees of loss, compelling the contractors to seek a resolution of responsibility through litigation to safeguard their rights. Construction project delays have been extensively studied, with researchers often delving into analyses of factors influencing project schedules. The current study examines legal documents from litigation cases to observe the relationship between factors influencing project schedules and the outcomes of disputes commonly seen in litigation. This involves consolidating Supreme Court rulings on project schedule extensions and utilizing text mining tools to analyze and explore the cause-and-effect relationships of schedule-influencing factors in construction dispute litigation cases. The aim is to provide insights into whether resorting to the courts is a valuable option during contract disputes in construction projects.
