I've added unit tests to an existing legacy product, and it would have been simpler and faster to just re-write the application with TDD. The problem is that a project not written with TDD in mind often is very very difficult to decouple, and you end up either having essential sections without sufficient coverage, or you have to come up with come pretty abstract and fragile methods to test with. It's a mess.
