A large reason there is fewer large lisp projects, is that its pretty hard to get a team of lisp developers. Also, many programmers who do know languages like a lisp or Haskell are often going to be better programmers and will require a higher salary. Not everyone who codes in these languages is a great programmer, but I suspect there is some correlation.
