Stephen, It appears that in this scenario which I have seen on many occasions, that all development "changes" should be immediately frozen or the job becomes a moving target that will never get completed successfully no matter how many resources are thrown at it. In addition, you need a good project manager who understands the "whole project" in its entirety and who can assess the knock on effects that delays and changes can have. I think it is called "experience"!! <smile>
Having frozen any changes and generated an aiming point for "phase 1" then a subsection of the overall project should be identified which is complete in its entirety and can be completed using the minimum changes to peripheral systems.... We now know this methodology as "Agile" development but it is no different to how I was taught in the 70's.... you just need less people to do it because the age old hierarchy of junior programmer, programmer, systems analyst, consultant no longer exists as they are all contained under the name "developer".
