In my experience, I think the problem with side projects is that it starts with a certain timeline. But eventually, due to unforeseen circumstances or improvising over a period of time makes the project even more time-consuming.

The whole purpose of the side project is on-the-go learning and therefore you get this feeling inside that the side project is not optimal, or the project is not what it should be or that something is lacking. Whatever the reason, but somehow the side project is delayed on the timeline. Once the project is delayed;

a) Try to finish the side project ASAP by removing some of the important parts of the project and now it doesn't turn out to be the way you initially imagined it

b) Since the assigned timeline has passed, the project gets delayed forever as new priorities kick in

c) You finish it for the sake of completing the project because you have invested far too much time in building it

As a founder of http://draftss.com; I get to interact with alot of other founders who are struggling with completing and making their side projects beautiful. They want us to undertake the complete project for designing being Apps UI design or creating landing pages. Some founders ask us to handle complete projects as we think right, while others provide inputs for every minor inclusions and deletion. Conclusively, I'd say that it totally depends how dedicated you would be to your project from start to end. And that would define how your project is going to turn out in the end.
