Saying no is not something easy, you can't really say 'no' point blank. You need to be able to convey the idea of saying no, without really saying the word. Most of the time projects are denied in my IT world because of money. Yeah it's stupid, but with enough money you probably would be able to do just about anything, unless it's a really crazy idea. Technology also needs to be able to come forward in order for certain projects to come through. My advice to you is simply to explain the situation and how their project cannot be done with the current budget/technology. Try to relate to another project that didn't go through because of the current projects. A project is never denied, rather always delayed to a later time.. like next year when a new budget will be available. -my 2 cents
