All concept stage BETA Projects are designed to be fully reversible for these reasons.
Here's how to help you make something reversible, and we'll add to this list over time...
1. Removeable
Physically - Before you install anything physical, make your plan for how it will be removed, then factor that in as part of the installation. (Example of leap point socket, retaining downpipes)
Politically - Tell people repeatedly, and upfront, that it will be reversed, and the expected timeline of such. (Example BikeHangarBETA)
2. Returnable
Eg something for free
3. Recoupable
Eg % money back if return product
Eg sell onwards (eg bike hangars to apartment management companies)
4. Use elsewhere
Eg use for something else within the organisation, or give to a charity, etc
