Extended Capital Investment Decision Timeline
Definition
Lag times growing between identifying capital investment needs and executing decisions. Burns & McDonnell reports growing delays between setting site selection search criteria and making final location/expansion decisions. With prediction of additional stalling until after election cycles, decision timelines extend 12-18+ months. During this extended period, fabricators lose competitive positioning, cannot capture new market demand, and face accelerating cost inflation that erodes project ROI justification. This creates a vicious cycle: delayed decisions → missed growth → lower revenue → reduced capital for future investment.
