I've been there. The last time was 3 months ago. I was a year in and still no release. The boss changed his mind on design more times than I can count, which usually meant scrapping the old code and starting over.

I finally quit. It took me a couple of months to recover.

In some ways, it's a great thing we haven't even started coding. There's been no time to build this and the boss wants it done by October. One developer, one designer and a pretty big enough system is to be built in 3 months? I believe they're deluded. (Note: I've told her that it will take longer)
