Service jobs teach you to read body language to prevent problems because you can't afford problems

There is uncertainty in all technical work. The only control you really get is prioritization, so when the time is inevitably up, the most important work will have gotten done. Starting from a prototype and building up follows from this.
You’ve already failed

No project is going to exactly match every hope you have for it. And even before you ship the work, you've already succeeded. No project is totally worthless. So, given that failure and success are on a spectrum, at least partly out of our control, the real question is: Now…
