As a programmer the content of any program is very important. More often than not content is not provided in a simple format at the beginning of the project. Test data is often the only solution. To help with that messy process a few on lessons I learned.
To help i try to always simplify my components to allow quicker rewriting latter. Object oriented languages make this a much easier task than it forebears. still that's only with good practice.
One of the most often over looked part of coding is formatting. This can be lots of little things like how commented or non-commented a program is. To wildly different naming conventions. Now I don't suggest going and rewriting the whole program when you start. Just follow good practices when ever you work.
A good tool for working on a variable project is to define parameters. Try to rule out as many things that you know you don't want to do. Its not as good as knowing exactly what the content will be. It will allow you to estimate the time it will take and do some of the foundation work.
If you have an amazing team and start every project will the finalized content WOW! The market is fluid like the water in our bodies. I like to think that good code can save just like water.
