The project has a funding deadline - a funder would rather take a project that will work if they have to wait for funding. Funders frown on projects that have a deadline. For example, "If I'm not funded in 5 weeks, I'll lose the property." We as intermediaries would never accept a project like this when there are hundreds more that won't be calling us every day and giving us guilt trips for their project not being funded.

developer behavior: Developers get dumped for being pushy, demanding and rude...No Funding! - 03/07/10 06:16 PM
