I was told once it’s because cities project the job to take say 5 weeks, so they rip it up the first week, leave it for 3 weeks, then repave the last week. And they do this so everyone gets a paycheck for the full 5 weeks. Surely there has to be a different reason?

A lot of it is timing and delays. If you’re putting up a building you need to have the people and materials in the same place at the same time. But not TOO many people, or TOO much materials. Cashflow is important so you can’t really afford to buy all your materials at once and still pay workers and utilities. At the same time you don’t want workers standing around for materials that aren’t being used.
If you delay the materials to when you need them, the workers might not be available to install them. When you have the workers, maybe the materials aren’t available. You need the right materials and the right people to be in the same place at the same time. Any time any one of those is delayed, it can cause a domino effect the push back the rest of the project.
