I was recently hired to complete a specific task on a project that sounds similar to this one. On the 2nd day of my involvement and having read through the code a bit, I realized that the task I was hired to complete was the last thing they should be worried about given some of the existential issues in the code and architecture given the deadline. I voiced some of my concerns to the manager of the project. He got upset and defensive. I quit on the spot. I had never done anything like that before but I'm glad I did. It could have been rescued but that would have taken a huge personal effort on my part that I didn't foresee being appreciated.
