Did you provide temporary shade while the plant adjusted to the new environment?

One other thing I can think of. Did you check the root ball and soil when you un-potted the plant? My experience has been that some potted plants (even those from reputable nurseries) have too much peat type medium in the pot and once the peat dries it is almost impossible to re-wet it. When it's time to move the plants I would suggest removing all the soil from the roots and allow the plant to soak a bit before you plant it in the new spot. Protect the plant from the hot sun for several days and keep the soil watered.
