#1 for me is predictable resource availability. In spite of the mountain of evidence regarding the evils of multitasking, I almost never work with project teams that have sufficient resources so the vicious cycle of unsustainable overtime leading to burnout leading to fewer resources persists...

#1 is similar to Kiron Bondale - scarce resources from a staffing perspective.
#2 Budget Control
#3 Scope Creep
#4 Communication with stakeholders - or making sure you have all of the correct stakeholders.
#5 HR and Team issues.

Resources - man power - who owns them !
The project manager shares responsibility for the project with a number of individual functional managers - therefore shared responsibilities can include assigning priorities and tasks to individual team members. But functional managers still make the final decisions on who will work on projects and how much time can be dedicated to project tasks\assignments it is a fine balance as the organisation still requires ongoing operations specifically within IT Infrastructure.

Getting the right people and managing their conflicts and politics in remote sites can be very challenging and in some extreme cases could be life-threatening.
