Abstract: The general objective of this study focused on the project planning and performance of road Busanza -Gahanga construction project implemented by NPD Ltd in Kicukiro district, Rwanda. With specific objectives; to determine effect of project time planning on performance of road Busanza -Gahanga construction project, to determine the effect of project cost planning on performance of road Busanza -Gahanga construction project, and to determine the effect of project scope planning performance of road Busanza -Gahanga construction project. The researcher consulted theories including; Complexity Theory, Theory of Constraints and Resource Based View Theory. The research design was descriptive and correlational, the target population was 600 from NPD staff, the study sample size was 240 from NPD as respondents. Study employed descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, and data was analyzed with aid of SPSS software program version 25.0. It showed that the relationship between correlation between project time planning, project scope planning, project cost planning and performance of road Busanza -Gahanga construction project, was 0.966, 0.937 and 0.875 respectively. The results present the variables of project planning; project time planning was statistically significant with p value=0.000b, the project scope planning was statistically significant with p value=0.001b, and the project cost planning was statistically significant with p value=0.033b. The study concludes that there was a significant relationship between Project planning and performance of construction. The study recommended that Ministry of Infrastructure should engage Rwandan citizens to be part and be involved in construction industries and works to attain money personal economic improvement.
