    What reasons are considered "beyond the developer's control" for delays?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    The law recognises certain scenarios as reasons beyond the developer's control regarding project delays. These include cases where the land is expropriated for public interest or if a government entity suspends the project for re-planning. Other valid reasons include finding unexpected utility lines or structures on the site, or variations made by the Master Developer that alter the project's boundaries. In such instances, the developer is not held liable for negligence, which affects the termination rules.
