Poor requirements - if requirements are unclear, incomplete, too general, or not testable, there will be problems.

Unrealistic schedule - if too much work is crammed in too little time, problems are inevitable.

Inadequate testing - no one will know whether or not the program is any good until the customer complains or systems crash.

Featuritis - requests to pile on new features after development is underway; extremely common.

Miscommunication - if developers don't know what's needed or customer's have erroneous expectations, problems are guaranteed .

RE: what is a failure if a program doesn't work correctly?
If an application doesn't work properly after it is dispatched into the client environment then the application is said to be a failure.

The user is expected to enter an integer value into each of the three text fields. Upon hitting the OK button the program will print a message in a separate dialog box stating whether the triangle is scalene (all sides are different lengths), isosceles (two sides are the same length), or equilateral (all three sides are the same length).
