description Project delivery system (PDS) is critical to the success of a construction project. There is a strong link between contract type and project delivery method. Therefore, this paper presents a framework for multiobjective decision-making that combines project delivery method and contract type for the first time. Furthermore, the Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) is introduced in the decision-making model. A new method for PDS group decision-making is constructed by combining PFS with the entropy weighting method and prospect theory. In order to improve the reliability of decision-making, this paper proposes a new method for determining decision-maker weights based on comprehensive weights, which is used to distinguish the professional level of decision-makers. Finally, the PDS decision-making process is elaborated through case analysis, the effectiveness of the decision-making model is verified, and the differences between the PDS decision-making method and the traditional method are discussed, which proves the reliability of the method. The method proposed in this paper can provide support for the owner’s PDS selection.
