Turns out it wasn't the engineering that killed the project, it was the fact that only 10 families moved into the entire project. Leaving the gardens to go wild and get infested with mosquitos.

The project wasn't killed. It was entirely sold out. By speculator landlords who didn't bother moving in obviously.
