    Sarah,

    "Scheduling Manual" from www.rsmeans.com is an excellent reference for project planning/controls, as it explains the subject in detail with sample projects.

    You can inquire them if this book is still on prints.

    Sarah,

    Have a look at the Society of Construction Law’s Protocol on Delay and Disruption, it will give you an insight as to why proper planning and programming is important.
