That does not make sense to me. There can be thousand things that can kill project. One has to consider what are the odds for them.
How would you define the odds for the industry as a whole? The odds depend on the project, the team, the tech stack, and the organizational environment.
No matter how long I work (twenty-five years so far) I think my personal experience is only enough to know that if I've seen something, it probably happens fairly often. If I've never seen something, it still might be common for all I know.
