back to the drawing board
Start over and try a different approach after a plan doesn't work.
Examples
- My first budget plan didn’t work at all, so it’s back to the drawing board.
- I thought the cake was fine, but the frosting totally split, so back to the drawing board.
- If the weekend trip gets too expensive, we may have to go back to the drawing board.
