Delamination almost always is caused by moisture in the PCB. You can try to keep some of the PCBs in a dry box after recieving them. You can also slowly heat them up to bake out moisture. If you are purchasing boards form overseas form a board house

All of our moisture sensitive components are shipped to us in vacuum sealed, desiccated bags with a moisture indicator. When the parts are removed from the bag (this is done at either SMT setup, or in the stockroom) the indicator is checked. If it
