Problems that have sunk a new construciton project.

Hi all.

 I just finished listening to J Scott's second interview and he was talking about the problems he experienced while doing a spec build at a distance. he mentioned that he didn't have any problems which would sink a new build, and since I am planning on building soon I was wondering,

What problems are out there that can sink a new construction project? Have you experienced this at all?

I imagine scenarios like

-losing financing half way through construction (how can that happen anyway? poor planning?/)

-mistake on the pilings/foundations

-thief?

-fire

I feel like Im starting to reach here... if there are any out there who have stories to tell, I would love to hear them
