How do I summarise a delay notice for the project team?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Start with the main reason for the delay. Include the impact on the project timeline and any actions taken to mitigate it. Keep it clear and concise for easy understanding by the team.
Key points
- State the cause of the delay.
- Note how it affects the schedule.
- Mention any mitigation actions taken.
A delay notice should highlight what caused the delay, like weather or supply issues. It's also good to say how it pushes back deadlines and what steps are being taken to sort it out. This keeps everyone on the same page and helps in planning ahead.
