| The Iraqi construction remains challenging because of lack of basic amenities and is associated with enormous risks and terrorist actions. This status compels clients to wisely select the most efficient contractor that complies with both standard and special circumstances. This study aims to investigate the impact of choosing incompetent contractor on project schedule. The criteria of selection contractor that satisfy Iraqi construction industry were also investigated. Data were collected using an extensive historical data of 352 projects from the database of Diyala Governorate as well as conducting structured interviews with construction professionals from public organizations. Analysis of data showed that the current bidding process significantly impacts the performance of projects. In addition, the analysis revealed that the five most important criteria for selecting Iraqi contractors are: security and safety management, financial stability, past performance, relevant experience, and plant and equipment.
