The country's biggest construction company hit troubled financial waters last year after falling behind schedule on the city's Justice Precinct, which was $146 million over budget.
The Auckland Convention Centre was also subject to cost over-runs.
Now the $80 million hotel being built for the Christchurch City Council-owned Christchurch Airport is six months overdue.
An airport spokesperson said it had not been given a new completion date.
They said the airport was hoping to have the hotel open in time for the busy summer season and was "disappointed to have become caught up in Fletcher issues".
A spokesperson for the architects, Warren and Mahoney, which also designed the Justice Precinct, said the delay was not due to any design faults.
In a statement, Fletcher Building said it was committed to completing the hotel but "we are not going to discuss the specific details of the day-to-day progress or timeline of each project, or commercially sensitive information".
