Just be honest in the interview. If it failed, say that it failed. Admitting you are lacking in some aspects doesn't sound bad at all.

You might or might not put that into your resume.

I would put any factual evidence of skills / experience gained into your resume, the fact that it succeeded or failed is irrelevant and should be left out and brought up in the interview as required.
