Ten percent of UK IT projects are delivered on time, according to a survey conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The survey says that the main reasons for project delays are changing business priorities and poor co-ordination between IT and business managers.

The report was sponsored by HP and is based on a survey of 1,125 IT professionals worldwide.
