Okay, I think I've got a good handle on this. The key is making sure the stakeholders are involved and providing feedback throughout the project, not just at the end. I'd go with option C.

Haha, yeah, Barney's right. The stakeholders probably had some very specific needs that the project manager just didn't capture. I mean, how hard is it to ask 'Hey, what are you guys looking for here?' before diving in?

You know, I bet the project manager forgot to do a proper needs assessment at the beginning. If they had really understood the stakeholders' requirements, this whole situation could have been avoided. Rookie mistake, if you ask me.
