Most funders would probably not be okay with this unless the grant was exploratory in nature.
I’m just flagging that I’ve found the opposite to be true of the EA funders I have worked with—I’ve been explicitly told by funders that they hope we do find places to pivot, or at least adapt to what we find. And most projects I’ve worked on have done so, to a greater or lesser degree.

Interesting, that updates me! I’ve added more qualifiers to that point.
