"BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD"
You can say "back to the drawing board" when a plan or a design has failed, and you decide to begin all over again.
Example: Our new drug worked on rats, but when it was tried on people it failed, so we had to go back to the drawing board and start again.
Empezar de cero.
Example sentences:
- Well, my boss vetoed my proposal, I guess it's back to the drawing board / Bueno, mi jefe vetó mi propuesta, así que que supongo que habrá que empezar de cero.
