However, the construction industry, development stakeholders and the government face many challenges to ensure project success such as projects. There seems to be an urgent need to identify the sick project factors, and how to rehabilitate sick projects through an early warning system.

The study added to the existing project management body knowledge in terms theoretical and practical by introducing early warning system as the mediating variable to ensure successful rehabilitation of projects.
