All software projects carry a level of risk, the good news is that you seem to be aware of those risks.

You could jump ship but you might be missing an oppurtunity to add more skills to your skillset.

You need to get a list of all the risks that you believe exist in your project and communicate that list to your manager/stakeholders. The list should contain no emotional language (i.e. I am being thrown under a bus), just a statement of the facts.

So you want something like

"Here's a list of the issues I think we need to fix to stabalize project X going forward."

#1 - There are millions of dollars under control and only 1 developer. I think we should add peer review to all changes I make.

#2 - Etc,etc.

#3 - Etc,etc.

Once you've got it all down, get a friend to review it. Then consider sending it out to your managers.

Don't feel you have to implement every idea on the list, you are asking for resources to help you "stabilize the system".

Hope this helps.
