This is a very interesting topic, as I personally had never imagined projects being outright cancelled due to low priority. In all honesty, I do not see any reason why there should be a cancellation of projects, no matter what the priority. I believe that this indicates poor management in a company. From the initial “pitch” of a project, if accepted, the company should decide the priority and resources it will allocate to the project. If it sees that there is simply not enough resources, then the project should be put on hold until the resources are there. To me, starting a project and then ending it before it is completed is a total waste as resources, as no product came out of the time and money put into the project. I believe that companies often bite off more than they can chew and it ends up costing then valuable resources. So, at the end of the day, I believe that if a company is seeing a large number of cancellations, then they should invest in a better management team.
