In order to minimize delays, one should only have been recognized their causes through serious investigations and need to take correction actions timely for successful performance of the projects. Delay of Projects can be due to a number of causing reasons which included to groups of the client, the contractor, the consultant, or external factors. As per desk review study conducted on Oromia Regional Health Bureau (ORHB) hospital project's, the magnitude of delay was up to 396% of the contract time, which indicated that delay was a serious challenge to the performance of the bureau's projects. The aim of the research was to identify key delay causing factors and their impacts as the case of ORHB hospitals construction projects and forwarded possible conclusions and recommendations based on the findings of the results. After an intensive literature and desk reviews mostly related to the field of factors and impacts of delay; a questionnaire survey was conducted to find the perception of major parties participating in the performance of the construction projects in the region. Accordingly, 60 major causes of delay which categorized into four groups and 20 impacts of delay were identified.
