Projects fail for the same reason all the time
Bad management, shifting requirements, scope creep. It's not about touchy feely aspects at all and it's unlikely that 'people' got their hands on the gear in any relevant #'s for any practical span of time. They sunk a bunch of money, looked around, understood they'd have to sink a bunch more money, it would probably be too late to be acceptable so they killed it.
The number of 'large' IT projects is at least 50% that's the baseline we use and I'm one of the guys called in to salvage stuff like that.
