I think it stands for "due to".
Similar to　台風で木が倒れた。

 

[kazekai]

i thought the same too.

but according to what i've learnt at bunka (anyone correct me if i'm wrong), the use of de as due to or because cannot be followed by a sentence which contains speaker's will. e.g i will go to tokyo contains speaker's will.

thanks for replying me btw =)

It is decided that it will start from 1PM

 

[Niaoson]

i think that only means 'change' and not decided. the grammar structure for 'decided' is slightly different.

Niaoson's meaning of なる is not wrong, just that in this context, the meaning is "is decided"
