Cost of Delay is "a way of communicating the impact of time on the outcomes we hope to achieve". [1] More formally, it is the partial derivative of the total expected value with respect to time . Cost of Delay combines an understanding of value with how that value leaks away over time.
The Hudson Formula derives from Hudson's Building and Engineering Contracts and is used for the assessment of delay damages in construction claims.. The formula is: (Head Office overheads + profit percentage) ÷ 100 x contract sum ÷ period in weeks x delay in weeks
A more complex model called Delay Calculation Language, [4] or DCL, calls a user-defined program whenever a delay value is required. This allows arbitrarily complex models to be represented, but raises significant software engineering issues. Logical effort provides a simple delay calculation that accounts for gate sizing and is analytically ...
Real options valuation, also often termed real options analysis, [1] (ROV or ROA) applies option valuation techniques to capital budgeting decisions. [2] A real option itself, is the right—but not the obligation—to undertake certain business initiatives, such as deferring, abandoning, expanding, staging, or contracting a capital investment project.

Temporal discounting (also known as delay discounting, time discounting) [12] is the tendency of people to discount rewards as they approach a temporal horizon in the future or the past (i.e., become so distant in time that they cease to be valuable or to have addictive effects). To put it another way, it is a tendency to give greater value to ...
If the cost of each unit of time in the diagram above is $10,000, the drag cost of E would be $200,000, B would be $150,000, A would be $100,000, and C and D $50,000 each. This in turn can allow a project manager to justify those additional resources that will reduce the drag and drag cost of specific critical path activities where the cost of ...
The primary data set used in cost distance analysis is the cost raster, sometimes called the cost-of-passage surface, [9] the friction image, [8] the cost-rate field, or cost surface. In most implementations, this is a raster grid , in which the value of each cell represents the cost (i.e., expended resources, such as time, money, or energy) of ...
In statistics, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is a data analysis based on set theory to examine the relationship of conditions to outcome. QCA describes the relationship in terms of necessary conditions and sufficient conditions . [ 1 ]
