I think part of the problem is lack of project planning and goal setting. I wondered the same thing from me. It's easy to quit a project if you have no goals or purpose for it. Once you quit there's no problem since there was never a plan. The other must is a sense of urgency. I'm an easy going guy. Never in a hurry. It has always bothered me when I work with someone that makes an emergency out of everything. There's no hurry, I used to say.
The easiest move in any project for you, your coworkers, customers and investors is to quit and move on. The longer a project gets the easier it is to quit. Your goal is to forestall that urge as long as possible by showing results as soon as possible and in on going basis. Yes, EVERY project has a deadline whether you set it or not. The implicit deadline is the point where you will quit. Again do your best, so you don't get to your quitting point, by showing progress and you can best do that by having a plan that has goals and deadlines to show progress.
