Does replacing a completely unsalvageable legacy project count? It's done and dusted at this point, but I replaced a C/PHP codebase written by an IP-trolling freelancer who kept project sources as his personal IP, won back after a legal settlement. It was all deliberately obfuscated single letter naming and misdirected logic paths, along with a heavy reliance on global state. Investigating any individual part was manageable, thankfully, but I still had to unwind a great many useless stack frames and reverse-engineer several intense procedural bit-logic algorithms.
