Several issues are discussed in the literature that generally affect the termination of an infrastructure contract and the transfer of project ownership to the government agency. These issues include project construction claims, dispute resolution and cost overruns. Research studies have analyzed the nature of such claims and specific insights are offered into the fundamental causes of claims that delay projects. Dispute resolution in the construction industry is another concern for project delay. Disputes can be expensive and litigation can cause even longer delays. Research sources offer solutions to both the classification and frequency of disputes and claims with respect to damage type, highway project element and fundamental causes.
