Correct answer: A

Q begins the subject, and "why" needs a clause: P "the project failed", followed by the verb "was".
"Was" needs a complement: R "a lack of money", and S adds a second thing that was lacking.
So the order is QPRS: "The main reason why the project failed was a lack of money and trained staff."

Worth noting

QRPS puts "a lack of money" right after "why", which leaves "the project failed was" in the middle.
