That can’t be true, because it’s never to late for management to edict changes to a project, even just on a whim.
"Actually we decided we're going to take this project in a completely different direction. Go ahead and rework 90% of what you just created over the last six months."
It was a trivial enough component that upper management couldn't be bothered to give a shit, and middle management was toothless. I left before HR had to get involved again.
