Abstract
Implementations of construction projects in Indonesia, especially in Aceh Province, are often delayed. Time, quality, and cost are three important components of planning a construction project. The benchmark for a successful construction project is the project completion time being in accordance with the time period specified in the contract. In project implementation, there is often a risk of delays in completing construction projects that can cause losses and fines; therefore, it is necessary to know the risk factors potentially causing project delays. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors causing delays greatly affecting construction projects in Aceh Province. The data used in this study were questionnaire data distributed to 68 respondents. The data processing methods included validity tests, reliability tests, and the construction of descriptive statistics. Ultimately, 60 delay factors were obtained; of these, 30 risk indicators were included in the very influential category with a mode value of (= 5), 29 delay risk indicators were in the high influence category with a mode value of (= 4), and one indicator was included in the category of medium influence (= 3).

The purpose of this study is to identify the risk factors causing significantly influential delays on construction projects in Aceh Province
Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that, of the 60 identified risk factors causing project delays, 30 risk indicators are in the very influential category with a mode value of (= 5), 29 risk indicators are included in the high influence category with a mode value of (= 4), and one indicator is included in the medium influence category (= 3)
Summary
The development of construction projects in Indonesia, especially in the province of Aceh, is growing rapidly, in line with the fulfilment of the basic needs of the community. Various types of risks can occur in any construction project. The greater the level of complexity of a project, the greater the risk that must be accepted. The risk will affect the level of productivity, project quality, time, and project costs. Risk can cause delays and losses; a risk is generally an unexpected event. The risk of delays in construction projects often occurs in developing countries [1]. Even when activities have been planned as well as possible, uncertainty often remains. The risks occurring in construction projects cannot be eliminated, but can be reduced or transferred from one party to another [2]
