Aug 19 (Reuters) - Australia's Lendlease ( LLESF ) on

Monday said its annual loss widened as the real estate developer

faced the brunt of a major shift in operational strategy amid a

delay in the corporate regulator's review on a sale of community

projects.

The country's largest property developer reported a full

year loss after tax attributable of A$1.50 billion ($1.00

billion) as compared to a loss of A$232 million a year ago.
