"Recently I was faced with a problem recently that posed a no-win scenario. We lost an employee, and they'd overpromised a client on what they could deliver. So, they reassigned their project to me, and knowing that employee's skill level, I quickly realized they wouldn't have been able to accomplish what they'd promised this client. But I did the best I could to come close and made additional accommodations to smooth things over. But, in the end, we lost money on this project. Yet, considering the long game, and that the worth of keeping the client outweighed losing the client, I decided that taking a loss in the interim would in the long term provide a greater benefit."
