of projects over budget or past deadline. With large projects typically finishing 20% later than scheduled and only 31% meeting schedule, budget, and scope simultaneously, the administrative burden of managing RFIs, submittals, and owner-directed changes consumes estimator and PM bandwidth that should be focused on winning and executing new work."},{"icon":"Clock","stat":"25%","color":"from-red-500 to-pink-500","title":"Inaccurate estimating and scheduling causing chronic delays","description":"Only 25% of construction projects complete within 10% of their original deadline.
