For me, I have a 99% success rate.
That 1% failure, let's just say the 1% fault was in the stakeholders not agreeing and changing their minds ever day, not being available to do sign-offs at milestones, and constantly infighting. Looks bad from the outside as a subcontract programmer if you can sense that problem before you get started stay away from those types of stakeholders, or opt out early.

I killed it after a solid 45 day try to resurrect a dead product with terrible engineering behind it.
