Probably blown plaster could be losing its bond to the wall could be lath and plaster wall could be settling could be the change in season’s humidity etc take the loose plaster of the wall you will be filling and sanding I’m them cracks for years to come

same old story, saving money by not getting a plasterer in, so he can buy the latest television/mobile phone/new kitchen,
just get a plasterer in, get the job done right,
