To know the importance of project quality in project management and its role in the process of planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating projects, and to manage resources in such a way that the work required through these resources can be accomplished by restricting the specific scope of the project and considering the commitment to quality, timing, and cost factors.

It develops in the thought and the philosophy of current management. It comprises the concept of the quality of the operations as well as the quality of the products. It encourages the employees to engage in the work team and to concentrates on the beneficiaries and contact with them. In the present worldwide competition and economic progression, quality has turned out to be one of the essential elements for the basic. A decent quality item or administration empowers an organization to include and hold clients (Evangelos, and Jiju, 2017, Nilda e al. 2017). Low quality prompts unhappy clients, so the expenses of low quality are those of quick waste or amendment as well as the loss of future deals. Mechanical innovations have diffused geological limits bringing about clients that are more educated. The business condition has turned out to be progressively overwhelming, and the commercial Centre has changed from neighbourhoods to worldwide. Steady weight is connected to the management to enhance aggressiveness by bringing down working expense and enhancing calculated (Hassan et al. 2016, Marina et al. 2017). Clients are winding up progressively mindful of rising models, approaching an extensive variety of items and administrations to browse. There is a consistently expanding interest for a quality item, and additionally, administrations and this global insurgency had constrained associations to put significant assets in embracing and actualizingproject management methodologies (Saumyaranjan, 2018; Ahmed et al. 2018). Quality is a standout amongst the most misjudged issues in business today, but then it is fundamental to the survival of even the best organization (Vinh and Ferry 2018; Emmanuel and Monica 2016; Daniel, 2018). The construction industry constitutes an important element of the Libyan economy. Although it accounts for less than 5% of GDP, the industry is a strong growth push because of its extensive linkages with the rest of the economy. In particular, the industry has extensive linkages with the construction related manufacturing industries such as basic metal products and electrical machine. Presently, more than 600,000 people are employed in the construction sector including about 110,000 legal foreign workers. With the involvement of illegal workers, the construction sector is identified as a labour generating industry and the dependence on foreign labour is very high. Construction industry has been an engine of growth and development in Libya. Therefore, the successful completion of a project is critical so as not to hinder the development of the country especially the construction of infrastructure. Construction of infrastructure consist of the building of roads/highways, ports, airports, water supply, electricity supply and telecommunication to names a few. One of the electricity infrastructures is the construction of transmission line. In this research study proposal, we try to examine the root cause of the delay in the construction of transmission line projects. What are the factors that contribute to this delay and how do these factors do relate to the delay? With the finding, it is hoped to minimize the delay as to totally remove the delay is impossible as this research study proposal cannot include all the variables that contribute to the delay. Even though the issues of natural assurance and enhancing item quality have received noteworthy consideration in
