I've seen more than once projects with ill-equipped team members. I've been one myself, too.
Even in established tech corporations, the process of team creation can be screwed up due to multiple reasons. I've seen DevOps engineers tasked with writing apps because PM did not checked what their role was. And that was a high-importance project in a huge, publicly traded, tech corporation.
Expecting engineers to estimate work they haven't done before ends up in guesstimation which is almost never correct.
PMs asking for estimations in pioneer projects create problems for themself, which they sometimes later blame on team members.

Everyone is stretched beyond their abilities. The whole company is a house of cards. But yet it keeps on working and often it delivers results that keep everything else up and running. I don't understand why it works this way but it does.
