The number of failed software engineering project remains very high despite numerous attempts to decrease that by employing different modern software engineering methodologies. There are different reasons for failing and only one of those is studied in this paper: a mismatch between delivered software package and customer's expectations used to verify this software. The paper shows that there exist several cases, where software that corresponds to the initial requirements appears invalid at the project completing phase. This happens because goals and expectations are not static sometimes and can mutate under different influencing factors. Moreover one of those factors can be the software project by itself as is sometimes released in several steps.
