Resumen
El presente artículo analiza los factores que tienen mayor incidencia en el desempeño de los proyectos de construcción, determinando los más importantes y agrupándolos de acuerdo a los indicadores de desempeño o éxito de un proyecto. Se utilizó una revisión sistemática analizando los factores e identificando los indicadores de desempeño a través del índice de importancia relativa (RII) en los diferentes casos de estudios; para lo cual se realizó una revisión de la literatura comprendida en el rango de años de 2015 a 2025 por medio de las bases de datos de ScienceDirect, Google académico, Scopus y Elicit encontrado 10.823 artículos de los cuales se escogieron 10 para su posterior interpretación. Como resultado final se obtiene que la escalada de precio y los cambios de diseño con un RII de 0.889 y 0.883 respectivamente, son los factores más determinantes agrupados en los indicadores de costos quien es el segundo indicador de desempeño con un RII 0.9. El primer indicador de desempeño es el tiempo con un RII de 0.925 y el factor que más lo afecta es la deficiente planificación con un RII de 8.874. Se concluye que los factores identificados como determinantes deben gestionarse apenas surjan de tal forma que se evite una repercusión negativa en los proyectos de construcción.

Abstract
This article analyzes the factors that most significantly influence the performance of construction projects, identifying the most critical ones and grouping them according to project performance or success indicators. A systematic review was conducted, examining the factors and identifying performance indicators through the Relative Importance Index (RII) across different case studies. For this purpose, a literature review was carried out, covering the period from 2015 to 2025, using databases such as ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Elicit. Out of 10,823 articles found, 10 were selected for further analysis. The results indicate that “price escalation” and design changes, with RII values of 0.889 and 0.883, respectively, are the most critical factors, grouped under the cost indicator, which is the second most significant performance indicator with an RII of 0.9. The top performance indicator is time, with an RII of 0.925, and the factor that most affects it is poor planning, with an RII of 8.874. The study concludes that the factors identified as decisive should be managed as soon as they arise to prevent negative repercussions on construction projects.
