Yes, but it's complicated.

We didn't know what we were getting into because the guy who made the SOW quit unexpectedly before the project began. I didn't bring it up in my last comment, but he made a lot of impossible-for-our-timeline promises and quoted them a ridiculously low figure for the work to be done. He was known to work late hours and not actually bill them - a huge no no - so my team's theory is that he was planning to do a lot of these features pro bono.

SO basically we're developing this shitty product at a higher cost than originally estimated, and on a longer timescale than originally promised. It's a real shitshow, but we're contractually obligated to see it through.
