That's a recurring experience. Sorry you got bitten by it. I've had it as well and others I know as well. This is normal for what is here given as 'idea' persons. It used to generate a lot of frustrations within me. Now I know that an idea person, or for that matter most entrepreneurs, will have ideas. They'll share their current version with much enthusiasm and will wake up energized the next morning with, for them, tiny iterations on that idea. For others, such as the engineer implementing it, those 'tiny iterations', are completely new and will require large amounts of rework. One of my colleagues described it as the idea person being a little boat that is swarming around a large container ship. The container ship just isn't able to change course on the whims of the little boat.
