Concurrent Delay

In Plain English

When both the owner and the contractor are causing delay to the project at the same time.

Definition

Concurrent delay occurs when two or more independent delay events from different parties (owner and contractor) affect the critical path simultaneously during the same time period. When delays are truly concurrent, the contractor is typically entitled to a time extension but not delay damages, because the contractor's own concurrent delay prevents recovery of extended general conditions from the owner. Concurrent delay analysis is highly fact-specific and frequently disputed.
