Happend to me with my master's thesis.

Professor told me to do self-localization of soccer robots based on greyscale images and assigned me to a PhD student.

PhD student said "This can't be done, at least not in real-time" and was angry about his professor because he now had to look after me somehow. Of course, he didn't.

Six months later, my program could self-localize a soccer robot based on greyscale images, in real-time. On large fields and with varying light sources, which the previous, color-based algorithm couldn't.

Unfortunately, PhD student was a sore looser and still gave me a bad grade. Professor didn't help.
