Hardships engineers go through

What are some hardships that engineers go through to eventually create or finish a project?

    Some of the hardships are the same as what you might encounter when you do a project at home. You might not have all the resources you want. For example, you might want to make breakfast for your whole family but you don't have enough butter or milk or bread. You need to get the right items to make it happen. In projects, you might have this hardship, not enough people to help, or materials to try or time to finish.
    
    Another hardship might be that your first idea does not work. Sometimes you think something will work but when you try it, things don't work out. For example, you might try to make the pancakes but realize that the frying pan was too hot or you didn't use enough batter or you didn't cook it long enough.
    
    All of these hardships can be overcome and sometimes by learning from what didn't work and trying again.
