It discusses possible reasons and consequences of delay in the implementation of specific investments and considers the two variants of delay depending on whether the time of investment observed by the parties of the transaction. It shown that the basic model of underinvestment, which can be used when building the temporary version if unobserved investment, can be used the model of O.
