What tape was used, blue painters tape ? you need to let paint cure.





What, specifically, did you use for primer and paint? How long after
wallpaper removal did you wait to prime? Did you rinse well after
taking off paper? Dry?

From the info you have given, I would guess that you left the tape on
until the paint dried; a mistake. Tape should be removed as soon as the
paint is applied or the paint adheres to and becomes part of the tape.
Drying time for any product - spackle, primer, paint - is not the same
as curing. Tech advice is available for most paint products on
Internet. Taping on top of any primer or paint after only two days is
risky - I've done it with good luck.

To repair the mess, I would patch the peeled edges so they don't show
through the next coat. When hard, take a damp cloth wrapped around a
flat block to smoothe the patches. Dry. Vacuum the dust off. Prime
with a primer suitable for bare plaster AND the paint you choose. Let it
go at least 3-4 days. Tape, paint. Pull tape back on itself when you
remove it - not straight out from the wall.

If you used an oil based primer without adequate time after appl.,
solvent may have helped lift your paint, which sounds like latex.
Humidity and temp have a bearing on how quickly you can proceed.
