IBM's site is a pain to get any information so Is your Lotus Symphony up to date? (3.0.1 looks like it could be the latest?). What version(s) are you all referring to? When it used to work what OS were you using? What 'Kind' of application is it?
Select it in the Finder select 'File Menu Get info' Kind will be displayed in the general section. Universal (should be able to work on 10.9) Intel (should be able to work on 10.9) PowerPC (will not work on 10.9, needs Rosetta which was last available on 10.6) Are you getting any logs when trying to open it? Open /Applications/Utilities/Console & read the 'All messages' section (show the log list if hidden) to see what appears as this app fails to open. Don't post every single log message here just a few sample ones. Have you allowed 'run Applications from anywhere' in the Gatekeeper security settings within System Preferences? Personally I have never heard of this application, so you may get better support on IBM's site or forums, but we can have a go at seeing what could be at fault.

IBM's download page says Lotus Symphony version 3.0.1 is for Macintosh OS X 10.6.2, Macintosh OS X 10.7, Intel only I'm not sure if I have the right file (I had to jump through hoops to get to the download, it's unclear if I picked the right option, but it seems correct). I wanted to download it because of the ' Unrecognized Java VM' in your error logs it suggests it may require Java, which isn't shipped on Mac OSX anymore (it's a separate download because of security reasons). IBM don't mention Java is required anywhere, which makes me think the log message is a red herring? The IBM installer looks like it won't run on anything over 10.7 (10.9 fails with an error) and there is a script inside the installer which appears to check for OS 10.7 & Java installed on the Mac.

(you can easily hack the installer to remove the check - but what is the point?). Frankly this isn't Apples fault this doesn't work, IBM don't document the Application requirements (as far as I can see). You really need to ask IBM, they are the ones that say this OS isn't supported, they are the ones whose installer finishes with this You were lucky it worked OK on 10.8, it wasn't intended to do so. Sorry, the only options you have is to run it on a supported OS, run it on an unsupported OS and accept bugs or move on like IBM seem to be doing. Apple Footer.
