Project length determination: one root cause of construction's dysfunctions

Construction Project Schedules are the most significant leverage point for improving social and economic outcomes for the industry. This paper aims to explore the effects of increasing and decreasing timespans. A pressing issue is a lack of a method and mathematical equation for owners to determine a socially and economically sensitive construction timeline. Disturbingly, the current academic research on this topic is sparse. Creating a holistic schedule-setting process and algorithm is more important than ever due to several factors, including worker shortages, women's participation, increased project complexity, mental health, the algorithm are more important than ever due to several factors, including worker shortages, women participation, increased project complexity, mental health and quality problems. Pre-tender project time setting has been an ignored area. This resulting arbitrariness, which relies on experience, input process times and economic motivation, does not serve Australia's social and economic goals. It is one root cause of today's construction dysfunction. Installation time compression with increasingly complex construction installation appears to be a blind spot for project owners since they have to determine an appropriate deadline for all project parties. For-profit organisations and other entities seek to take earlier possession to capture more economic value for themselves; however, these firms must be sensitive to the many adverse effects of pre-tender schedule setting. A structured assessment process should be an additional criterion for project feasibility practices. This paper asserts that a solution may be found if portfolio management scheduling practices can be extended to an entire market where the incident project is planned to be constructed.
