Were they initially excited about the project? It sounds like they just don't care about what they are working on. Some causes of this (I speak as a programmer, not a manager):

  * they aren't being involved in higher level decision making, like what features to implement
  * the requirements keep being changed on them
  * the project just isnt technically interesting
  * they feel like theyre slaves

- the requirements keep being changed but not major changes

- features etc are provided by client to implement but we have freedom of how to implement them.

- i guess project is technically very interesting

- they may feel like slaves as they are not able to produce quality work lately

It may happen that they don't just care about what they are working on.
