The study aimed at investigating on the effects of managerial competence towards optimization of project deliverable variations. The investigation was carried out following a number of cases reported over >75% of public projects not to be completed on time and if completed then they found not of the quality intended. There are number of factors which count for this dilemma such as budget constraints, technical incompetence, dishonest, force majeure and managerial incompetence. Managerial incompetence being one among other influencing factors was a point of focus contributing in fulfilling the gap. To explicitly reveal to what extent this managerial proficiencyover project follow-up, monitoring and evaluation lead to performance of the project to the standards expected then quantitative research approach, descriptive-survey design and simple random sampling were employed. The target population being technicians, engineers, contractors, architects in construction industry in Mbeya, Tanzania then reality was revealed. From 230 unit of inquiry while the facts collected using questionnaireand throughthe use of structural equation modeling (by applying the descriptive statistics, correlation, average variance explained and multiple regression) it was found that project follow up, monitoring and evaluation managerial competences contribute positively and statistical significant on optimization of variations ofend deliverables. It is from this positivism between variables revealed what this study recommends that the project managers have to ensure effective follow-up, monitoring and evaluation of the public construction projects in-order to optimize the variations over end deliverables effectively and most significantly.
