Abstract

Performing the planning of any public works comprises one of the stages of regulation of this, aiming to guarantee the cost and term expected for a given project. What has been noticed, however, is a vast accumulation of backward or abandonned public works across the country for lack of adequate time planning and budgets, and this is not a recent event - in 1995, the temporary committee´s final report of the unfinished works of the federal senate pointed out 2,214 works without conclusion. In order to make known the limitations of public agencies on the time and cost schedules that lead to the delay of public works, and in order to contribute to reduce or minimize this effect, a quantitative-qualitative study was conducted with four different public agencies in the city of fortaleza - ce. The study pointed to the main causes of delays, the absence of executive and conclusive projects, the absence or poor quality of budgets, problems related to the reference tables (tables below market value, mainly) and political aspects (short term planning).
