Project management is hard. I wrote and won an SBIR award this year. A much different scale than the article, but I spent a lot of time writing the plan and budget and sourcing components and estimating software tasks. Two months in and a big chunk of that is out the window… haha. Finding connectors and other components has been a big source of pain, especially if purchasing in small quantities. Another example: I bought a consumable product which then immediately became unavailable… so do I try to make do with what I have on hand or make the decision to switch to a replacement?

Stressful, but I try to have fun. And extremely satisfying when things work out!
