The key us in understanding why the previous times failed. What constraints existed then, which possibly no longer exist now.
Projects fail for many reasons. Technical, market, capital, time and so on. But things change. Building an add-on for electric cars would likely fail 20 years ago, again 10 years ago. But now? Or 10 years from now?
Only by -really- understanding what caused a project to fail can you determine if that barrier is no longer in place. Which means you can try again, and potentially find the next barrier or success.
