the fallacy of the sunk costs


That (like loss aversion and status quo bias) is an issue with the
mental state of decision takers. It's not an argument against decisions
on whether or not to proceed based on objective assessments of the
options as they stand now - taking account of both work already done and
lessons from that work for the likely future costs.


I did not mention costs, merely inconvenience.


inconvenience *is* a cost

just not one borne by the developer
