Can you give some more details, why you are thinking in this manner ?

BTW: I haven't heard anything from this port. Does this mean, that the efforts
has been stopped ?
Was my initial 80/20 assumption so frustrating, that anybody sees the whole
mountain, which seem to hard to be broken ? I hope no.

I'm working on this stuff about 2 years and have funny time but also very hard
times, were my endurance was requested very much.
Giving up isn't the right way. I remember some time in my job time having very
hard challenges and now, when I see back, I'm happy, that I haven't gave up.

So be encouraged to go on this road and take only one step after another.
