Not entirely true - the body were I work^Wam employed has a good number of IT projects, delivered on time and to cost.

The reason? We have our own Dev team. While much of our IT work is outsourced, we maintain our own in-house team of IT people that are pretty experienced and have authority to say no to the outsourcer when they are being silly.

The ones where we do fail are generally where we are solely reliant on our outsourcer to deliver for us.
