Real Estate & Infrastructure
A structured record of 96 confirmed schedule delays and cost overruns on US infrastructure projects with original contract values above $100 million, reported in July 2026. Each event captures the project name, contracting authority, original and revised timeline or budget, the nature of the delay, and the responsible party. Coverage spans transport, energy, water, and social infrastructure projects at federal, state, and local government level.
US infrastructure project with original contract value above $100 million reported a confirmed delay, cost overrun, or contractor dispute
Project finance lenders and infrastructure fund managers monitor delay announcements to assess covenant risk and timeline slippage in their loan books. Construction insurers and surety bond providers track overruns to evaluate claims exposure on bonded projects. Government procurement teams and programme management offices use delay data to benchmark delivery performance and identify systemic project management failures.

<h3>What qualifies as a confirmed delay?</h3><p>A delay is recorded when the project owner, contractor, or a government body publicly confirms a schedule slip, cost overrun, or contract dispute on a US infrastructure project with an original value above $100 million.</p><h3>Are cost overruns without schedule delays included?</h3><p>Yes, provided the cost overrun is formally acknowledged and material (typically a significant percentage increase over the original contract value). Cost overruns and schedule delays often co-occur and both are captured.</p><h3>Are private infrastructure projects included?</h3><p>The dataset focuses on projects with public funding or public authority involvement. Purely private-sector construction projects without government contracts or public financing are generally excluded.</p><h3>How often is this dataset updated?</h3><p>We rerun this dataset once a month. You can create your own dataset that updates as frequently as every one hour on <a href="https://platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall">platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall</a></p>
