Just lay out the facts and explain how their action/non-action is delaying the projects and costing valuable time and resources for the company. Most people should understand.

I agree with Girly that these shouldn't be "difficult conversations" if you keep things factual and non-emotional.

Thats commendable.

I still think the 'foam-bat' method is better.

Hit your KPIs...or I shall hit you.

And if you really screw up? Everyone in the office except you gets a bat.
