According to finance department, the disbursement progress of projects that have fallen short of expectations has been affected by a number of difficulties, including compensation and site clearance, completion of investment procedures, and the verification of land-related documents.

The supply of fill soil, sand and construction aggregate has also been insufficient at certain times. In addition, transporting materials and equipment to construction sites in mountainous areas has proved challenging due to difficult terrain, extreme weather conditions and deteriorating roads on some routes.
