This chapter examines the challenges of public project planning, with a focus on budget overruns, delays, and planning quality. A comprehensive literature review highlights three key findings: (1) Public projects often face significant budget overruns and delays, sometimes exceeding hundreds of percent; (2) The overall quality of project planning in public institutions is generally inadequate; (3) Probability distributions of task duration and costs are frequently overlooked, undermining responsible and effective project planning. To address these issues, a research project is proposed to explore potential improvements in public project planning. A Delphi-based questionnaire, containing semi-open questions, has been developed for use across multiple countries. The aim is to gain insights into the current state of public project planning. Preliminary results from its application in Poland are presented and analyzed. The chapter concludes with a discussion of findings and outlines the next steps for future research.

摘要

This chapter examines the challenges of public project planning, with a focus on budget overruns, delays, and planning quality. A comprehensive literature review highlights three key findings: (1) Public projects often face significant budget overruns and delays, sometimes exceeding hundreds of percent; (2) The overall quality of project planning in public institutions is generally inadequate; (3) Probability distributions of task duration and costs are frequently overlooked, undermining responsible and effective project planning. To address these issues, a research project is proposed to explore potential improvements in public project planning. A Delphi-based questionnaire, containing semi-open questions, has been developed for use across multiple countries. The aim is to gain insights into the current state of public project planning. Preliminary results from its application in Poland are presented and analyzed. The chapter concludes with a discussion of findings and outlines the next steps for future research.
