Main constraints[edit]
• The 9/11 event in the year 2001 resulted in fewer tourists to Dubai, hitting their economy hard. This significantly slowed down the project.
• Another important constraint was that the time estimated for completion of the project (4 years) was too long.
• To make the construction process on top of the island faster; 40,000 workers were hired working at 2 different shifts per day (Each shift was 12 hours).
