Graveyard projects

I copied this idea from an AI seminar - what’s a software or automation project that you’ve pursued in the past and, for whatever reason, it’s now dead and buried?

Maybe you were putting in new payroll software. It was making progress but too expensive to justify carrying on. 💰
Maybe you were designing a new customer portal app but your implementation partners disappeared. 🏃
Maybe you were tidying records in your ERP to make it run faster, then somebody microwaved fish in the lunchroom and you’ve got bigger problems now. 🎣

I’d be interested to know what the project was. It could be done a lot more affordably and quickly than you think.
