This is a complex transaction, hence we will require to review terms of the Joint Venture agreement to provide you appropriate guidance. Nevertheless, on the basis of what you have mentioned in your query, I understand that the agreement is for particular project and the other party is causing unnecessary delay which is now a delay of more than 5 years, so you can write a letter to them stating that in case if he does not commence project immediately then you will terminate the agreement and will have no liability and all the payment made will be forfeited.

JV may not be canceled because there is no clause in the agreement but at the end of the agreement it may be mentioned that in case of any dispute same has to be either resolved by mutual discussion or by appointing Arbitrator. If any issue regarding delay of construction is concern you need to discuss with concern. whenever you are executing document, you also should have consult your legal adviser, he could have suggested to add the cancellation clauses in the agreement.
