Abstract: Construction projects continue to record cost and time outcomes that fall short of their baseline commitments, and a recurring explanation across four decades of research locates the problem in weak feedback between site conditions and managerial decisions rather than in technical uncertainty alone. Business intelligence (BI) platforms, which convert dispersed operational records into interactive visual reports, have been advanced as a route to closing this feedback loop, yet the supporting evidence remains scattered across several research communities that seldom cite one another. This paper reviews forty-five peer-reviewed studies published between 1992 and 2024....
