This is a brave story and as always, the challenge is to be able to see the bigger picture and the challenges that come with that, before starting to program.

Agile is about "lean and mean" but still done with common sense.
I once had to make the decision to throw away a value of over 2 million just because of about the same reason. And afterwards, that was cheap, because we would have made a sinkhole with much more spend.
