You want your answer to exhibit determination. Frame yourself as a resourceful person who can think fast on their feet. Demonstrate that you aren't easily discouraged. The attitude you should convey is 'Where there is a will, there is a way.' Meeting deadlines, overperforming, learning, and innovating is the aim of the messaging in your example.

"I was part of a team responsible for building the bots for a platform. We divided our team into three sections, two for monitoring and security, two for flagging spam, and two for testing our security. Somehow, things got off track with the team. First, the patchwork we implemented resulted in a spaghetti algorithm, and the problems escalated. Suddenly, the project turned into a not-so-friendly competition to see who could out-perform each other's work, hurting the group's productivity and losing sight of the project's intention. It also created some strain and friction between certain individuals on the team. I pointed this out and influenced everyone to work together on developing each set of bots in stages and unraveling the spaghetti algorithm if it wasn't too late. I encouraged each team member to rotate working side by side together. This way, everyone got to work closely with everyone else individually, spotting each other's work. This diverse collaboration fostered our teamwork mentality and created a situation where we over-performed as a group, turning our project around."
