There is rarely one automatic route
The realistic options depend on project status, land rights, escrow position, construction condition, contractual records, available funding and the positions of affected stakeholders.

Recovery, liquidation, completion, revival and restructuring should be compared on the same factual base rather than selected because one outcome sounds preferable.
Identify the next decision
A useful assessment states what is confirmed, what remains unknown, which approvals or specialists are needed and what evidence would materially change the route analysis.
