Abstract In construction, rework (redoing previously completed work) has a considerable impact on pro‐ject performance. As result, construction managers often avoid problematic tasks by modifying the design and specification of downstream (“change”). Such managerial action, however, can disturb sequence triggering non‐value‐adding change iterations among processes, which contributes to unanticipated schedule delays cost overruns. order address this challenging issue, different characteristics behavior patterns changes are identified, compared those rework. Change project performance is analyzed according characteristics, discovery status time. All research findings then incorporated into cohesive dynamic model. An application example model demonstrates how model‐based management enhance in real‐world setting providing effective plans policy guidelines. Finally, it concluded that approach be more effective, when combined with other efforts such as reducing process time increasing level coordination functions. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
