Inefficiency happens due to lack of good management right. So why can't option B?

Correct me if I'm wrong. A lot of travel delay is caused due to the inefficiency and lack of good management in the railways.

On the part of used to ascribe responsibility for something to someone. E.G. "There was a series of errors on my part" synonyms: (made/done) by, carried out by, caused by.
In behalf of someone = For someone's benefit*.
On behalf of someone = As someone's agent*.
* This distinction no longer has a basis.

A lot of travel delay is caused. Why would have used "is" instead of "was".

I believe that 'On behave of' uses for living human beings i.e. On behalf of me.
But on other side, 'On the part of' uses when it does NOT represent any living human beings such as railway or on part of private company.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks all for your valuable suggestion.
