Isn't that natural?

There are obviously certain sweet spots in projects where you're at your best. For me, that is after the initial coding on the project, but before going into maintenance mode. Adding big new features to a project is what I like best.

However when I step into an existing project with a huge amount of code, there's a lot of uncertainty. Did I grok the existing architecture? Will I use the existing code to its fullest? Do I make it better instead of worse?
