Why do IT projects tend to under-deliver, over-run and cost far more than anticipated?

'In the UK in the 1990s it was estimated that 90 per cent of IT systems put in failed to deliver the expected results.'

Tbh, I'm not sure this is a problem unique to IT projects. They tend to be higher profile, cost more and failures often have particularly disastrous consequences.

Interesting the point he makes about secrecy & scrutiny in the public vs private sectors.
