I. Methodology
I.I Phase 1
I.I.I Investigate the state of construction project
delays occurring globally
I.I.II Gather conceivable factors of time
constraints prevalent in the construction
industry
I.I.III Assess various lean construction tools to
determine the tool adopting Agency
Theory in the study
I.I.IV Analyze the standard process of Last
Planner System (LPS)
I.I.V. Discuss Agency Theory and its relation to
construction
II.I Phase 2
II.I.I Modify the process of LPS by the
application of Agency Theory to improve the
principal-agent relationship in project
participants’ relationships

II.I.II Devise a modified framework with Agency

Theory focused in a designated area/s
of Last Planner System process
III.I Phase 3 (Data collection and gathering)

III.I.I Construct a questionnaire survey

consisting the schedule delay factors and the
response of time control to the hybrid strategy

III.I.II Establish the face validity of the

questionnaire survey with a civil engineer or
experts in construction projects
III.I.III Distribute the questionnaire survey
III.I.IV Collect survey responses
III.I.V Analyze the results statistically with Likert
scale and discover the improved areas
of the LPS
IV.I Phase 4 (Data analysis)
IV.I.I Introduce the integrated LPS strategy
embedded with agency theory
Result
Validating the output
