Be careful not to give a generic answer. Try to think of a specific situation in which you were disappointed, but be careful to not be pointing out your own flaws or weaknesses in your example. In explaining why, be sure you don't blame others and take responsibility for your part in the situation.

"I was given a project to complete in a very short time frame. I voiced my concerns that I wasn't sure I would be able to complete it because of outlying factors - like ordering additional supplies and parts. I completed the project and everyone was pleased in the end, but I was personally disappointed that I wasn't able to complete it in the desired time frame. After talking this over with my supervisor, we agreed that in the future I would play a role in developing the timeline for the project so that all factors could be considered."
