In large construction projects, many stakeholders are involved, often with different interests. They look at the interests through the lenses of their conflicting worldviews, leading to the formation of different worlds that often have tensions among them. For example, to be viable, the projects must find a compromise between competition and collaboration. Hence, success in developing and implementing large construction projects requires analyzing the justifications of the world of stakeholders, identifying conflicts and creating agreements among them. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to use Boltanski and Thévenot's theory to review the justifications of stakeholders’ various and understand the tensions and compromises in large construction projects. The research approach is exploratory qualitative, realized using a multiple case study. In this process, five cases were selected as five large construction projects from the four countries of Iran, Turkey, India and Ethiopia and were analyzed based on the data extracted from written, visual, and audio sources. The results indicate that while six stakeholder groups are identified in the sources, content analysis and clear evidence reveal that the industry, construction, and market groups dominate in large construction projects. In other words, the stakeholders often justify their benefits and losses through the lens of these three worlds. In addition, the research discusses tensions and possible compromises in large construction projects. The results of this research improve the insight and knowledge of project managers and contribute to the success of large construction projects. However, it faces limitations in terms of methodology and data adequacy.
