Expression: "back to the drawing board"
Meaning: Some projects start out with a real drawing board. Whether this board contains written ideas or simple drawings, all further work begins from this first task. When a project fails, the team really goes back to the drawing board to begin anew. Over time, this expression has evolved to mean restarting something from the very beginning, even though an actual drawing board may not be used.
Example: the project failed, so you say, "we have to go back to the drawing board."
