What would lead to such demolitions when the project is nearly halfway finished?

Buildings are demolished by bringing them down vertically through different ways such as explosion, implosion, manual and machine.
The demolitions are conducted by taking safety measures but they don’t go as planned.
The unintentional collapse can have serious repercussions on the people or surrounding buildings. There have been instances where people have been killed and millions of properties damaged because of improper planning of building demolitions.
