It could be for a number of reasons - some of which are discussed on this post - performance - SQL Server statements intermittently slow on SQL Server 2008 R2 - Database Administrators Stack Exchange[^]
It's for SQL 2008 but most, if not all, of the stuff applies to later versions too

If that doesn't help then there around 39k other things to look at[^]
