A scene from an office:

Exec: "Sorry about that, Ed."

Ed: "No. Don't worry about it. I'd rather scrap all my work and planning now then find out later once we've spent all the money."

I mean, that's why you write up planning documents, right? In case management changes their mind and wants to go in another direction. Right? Better to scrap one man's work then to have the company waste thousands and thousands of dollars. Right?

Right.
