For the last 3.5 years, I've been working on a detailed calculation for my phd. I finished five months ago.
Because it was expected I would defend this semester, I applied for work and accepted a job, etc. I've started work and relocated, expecting to return to defend sometime next month. My thesis is written, etc. Unfortunately, my advisor and I just discovered that one of the foundational assumptions in the calculation was simply wrong.
This means I cannot defend on this calculation. Do I give up on the phd? Or do I quit my job, relocate back to my university and spend another 6 months/1 year in the hope of getting the degree?
