The only finished projects in my opinion are failed projects.

Successful projects are never finished. You need to keep working with them and making them better to improve your offering so that you can retain your users and keep your competitive edge.

There are other reasons for done besides failure. The original "super mario brothers" game is done and not a failed project. When holograms become the next big thing in TV flat panel TVs will be done, and not a failure. Projects are done when they are no longer needed. One cause of "no longer needed" is failure but certainly not the only one.

Good point. I was being very narrow sighted on that.
