Reframe a Rejected Project Proposal as a Timing Problem, Not a Bad Idea
Your proposal got a polite no and a vague reason, and it is genuinely hard to tell if the idea was bad or the timing was. This separates feedback about merit from feedback about timing and budget, reads whether the stated reason is likely the real one, and tells you whether to revisit, park or drop it.
