I've had numerous projects that I started but never finished over the years, but I've very rarely ever completely threw out an entire project that I've started - I have done it though, and it wasn't fun.
There is only that was very memorable for me to this day. It was a "How To" Project that I began preparations for when I was in Second Grade. It was pretty simple, I was going to display how heated air creates pressure and would inflate a homemade balloon and cause it to rise, to do it I was going to bring a hair dryer to school. However, my teacher shot the project down completely because it was "Too advanced". All my work went down the drain, and I threw the balloon I was making away because I was so frustrated. All I could think to do last minute as a project was a stupid How to make Kool Aid display, and I nearly got a failing grade on it. To pour salt on an open wound, my teacher remarked by saying I should have did my original project; whereas a few days earlier she wouldn't permit me to do it at all. It was the most devastating project of mine that crashed and burned because I was already very invested into it when it got shot down. Under other circumstances I would have just put the balloon in my closet or something and forgot about it, but I completely destroy the possibility of finishing the project for myself.
Have you ever started a project that was shot down so badly that you completely gave up on it and destroyed your own work?
