The correct phrase should be either "caused by" or "due to," but not both. These phrases are similar in meaning but have different grammatical structures:
1) "Caused by" is used to indicate the agent or cause of something.
2) "Due to" is used to indicate the reason or explanation for something.
So, the corrected sentence could be:
"A lot of travel delay is caused by the inefficiency and lack of good management on behalf of the railways."
OR
"A lot of travel delay is due to the inefficiency and lack of good management on behalf of the railways."
1) "Caused by" is used to indicate the agent or cause of something.
2) "Due to" is used to indicate the reason or explanation for something.
So, the corrected sentence could be:
"A lot of travel delay is caused by the inefficiency and lack of good management on behalf of the railways."
OR
"A lot of travel delay is due to the inefficiency and lack of good management on behalf of the railways."
