there could be numerous reasons, wrong adhesive, poorly prepped walls
i recently visited a job were the right addy was used , but prep was poor, metal stud walls with ply fixed .
not enough screws plus stud work not secured correctly , to much bounce in walls ,all the tiles popped

Can be a number of reasons...

1: one can be expansion issues and the tiles will tent off the wall due to lack of perimeter joints or butt jointing tiles together.

2: lack of contact with the adhesive bed can cause tiles to de-bond under stress thermal or moisture.

3: tiles too heavy for the substrate.


loads of reasons really, some more info would be great..
