Yes, blame other people. It is so much easier. It certainly couldn't be
that the developers who felt the need to rewrite several years of
development effort in a few months took on too much work and lost
motivation/interest before the work was completed. Working in smaller
steps and keeping the code in the repository working at all times
means you can loose interest/motivation at any time and zero work is
lost. Yes, it requires some thinking/research/planning to do it in
smaller steps, but you will have reduced the risk from being very
high to be almost non-existent.
