I reckon a good 9 out of 10 times, this will turn out poorly. Ask yourself if you are willing to lose your job, or get sued. What if the company assigns you to the software development team and your new project is to build this. You can be promoted against your will, you can be asked to build this. If you say no, you get fired. If you say yes and fail you get fired. As someone that has been in the industry for a while, I have often seen plenty of software that my company bought that I and the team could do better, we joke about it, but we don't. If we really hate the software, we build an alternative (rarely) and give it to the company, when we have , it cemented our position in the organization.
