You are just guessing the devs are unskilled, there might be a plethora of reasons behind these array of successive failures. However, all paths should lead to the PM, he is directly responsible for the success or failure of a project.
He is responsible for assuring the project is scheduled, meets deadlines, quality levels etc, which clearly is not happening here. If he the devs are unproductive, then he is directly responsive for this too, as he is in charge of choosing who does what or, at least, should have a strong influence on the team's assemblage. If the team needs more motivation, employees, training or whatever, he should have taken care of that ages ago. Otherwise, I think we can assume the company is into some financial problems or treating this project as non-important and putting it aside with one or another fella working on it sparsely just to keep up appearances.
