Rahul,
General information can be found at the Expert Witness Institute and the Academy of Experts as well as within the Civil Procedure Rules.

It is interesting to note that despite being employed (usually but not always) by one side, the expert must remain impartial and his duty is to the court.

In our case the expert witness would be an expert in planning and scheduling and be able to analyse what happened (the forensic bit) and then write an opinion. When writing such an opinion one must remember that the expert is likely to have to appear in court (unless the dispute is settled) and be cross-examined possibly over a period of several days, depending on the size and complexity of the dispute, on his ability, experience and authority to express such opinion, as well as be cross-examined on what he may have actually said in the report.
