Another barrier is not having a platform to hear what your project team (staff, vendors and clients) have to say about how well the project is defined, and how well it is going. Good team dynamics are crucial, and they need to feel that their voices are being heard and actions are taking place, otherwise disgruntlement and ineffectiveness can doom any project. Which is one reason why 50-75% never meet their KPIs.
Stakeholders engagement is a barrier to project success. Consistent and clear communication with various stakeholder groups with various interests and perspectives on projects is always challenging.
Mechanistic or organic organisational structure, and weak or strong Matrix project structure may affect project visibility. Saving Changes...
One element that comes to mind for me is the effect of change agents. There may be instances where the project is well communicated and implemented, so that it is easy to ascribe success to the project, especially if it comes in on time, within budget and according to scope. Managing change as it relates to staffing, through identification of new job roles or new work opportunities, knowledge and training etc, if not handled properly, would defeat the objectives of the project.

Silos, lack of leadership support, communication barriers, stakeholder conflict are just a few that I have seen routinely. Saving Changes...

I think one of the barrier is lack of clarity. Sometimes employees don’t know or don’t understand the project goals, objectives, roles and responsibilities, etc.

ist of barriers can be endless and it depends on the situation / project but I find communication and lack of transparency are very common.

I'll add 'poorly defined requirements' and 'failure to identify all stakeholders' to the list. Either one of these will probably doom a project, and they usually aren't detectable until it's far too late.
Absence of clearly defined requirements is no doubt on the top but a close second is the failure to manage stakeholder expectation as you work with those requirements.
If you think about it, its almost an infinite loop. From the inception till the very end, the stakeholders should be given (and consistently reminded of) a very clear idea of what the final result would look like. As PMBOK and most other guidelines would attest, ending a project without delivering anything tangible can also be a success as long as a collective and conclusive agreement is reached with the stakeholders.
