Depending on the type of project, sometimes 70% of the time is programming and 30% is consulting with the team. Other times I do 60% design and 40% programming. It's project by project. For me, most projects are greenfield development. Some of them don't even come to fruition after weeks of designing and are lost. The main thing is to do your job the best you can.

How far into your career are you in? I imagine that it is frustrating to see your efforts go to waste.

I have been programming for over 20 years. I've developed everything from small in-house applications to systems in critical infrastructure... But the working mood and work deployment depends mainly on the setup of the internal company policy :)
