a zero return development Explanation: It's a more literal translation but "zero return" is often used for investments that are not profitable. |

defect-free Explanation: I believe that this sentence describes that the products are recalled due to an error in the design. They are asking for a design that has no error. So I would suggest "defect-free" or "error-free" for this. |

5 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1Zero start-over development Explanation: It's hard to say without more context, but「出戻り」is commonly used to refer to women who are 'starting over' after getting divorced. In this case, the term seems to imply development into which much effort and time have been invested, only to be abandoned because it is going nowhere or will not end up being profitable. In stead of 'zero start-over development' you could use 'a development [project] that never has to start over' or 'development which never has to return to the starting line', or something more concise to that effect. See if this fits with the context of your document. Example sentence(s):
