The contractual underpinning on Goldratt’s research based on CCT explains how it favours general contractors than subcontractors. The reason for CCT favouring general contractors rather than subcontractors is because buffers are relocated to the end of projects. Although CCT protects the entire project, a downside to this practice is that it does not uphold the individual interests of subcontractors. However, the project buffers prevent procrastination and reduce wasted time for the general contractor. Project buffers do not benefit subcontractors since their sensitivity to disturbances is increased when buffers are relocated. Buffers do however absorb delays and reduce the uncertainty of increasing subcontractors’ start date. Practitioners
