: : Is there a phrase that would correspond with a job that was not only well done, but then was cancelled (because your boss is an idiot and didn't realize how well done it was). Like "A job too well done"???

: : jlw

: Pearls before swine.

Perhaps: "The operation was a success, but the patient died."
