The main management issue with this project sounds like the lack of prototyping while requirements are unknown. Until they are rock solid every piece of code written should be considered expendable. I bet the guy suddenly quit once it became obvious that they'd have to maintain a poorly fit monstrosity and management wouldn't support a full rewrite that was badly required now that they knew what they actually needed. And because they probably got a better paid offer from some other place where they could build something from scratch again. Or maybe I'm just projecting, lmao.
