Google hits for ボツった are overwhelmingly about shelved artwork and drafts, the outlier here is "to cancel plans" that has 1 example in the original submission above.

The common thread seems to be something you spent some time on but was unhappy with the result and decided to throw it away.


If I may suggest a rework of this entry:
[1][v5r][col][see=1521960・没[2]]
  to scrap (esp. an illustration); to reject; to shelve; to cancel (plans, etc.)

No-one seems to want to touch this. The 実用日本語表現辞典 explanation seems fairly close to the current meaning. I'll tweak a little and close.

「もしかして、作った奴全部ボツったとか?」
(奴 = stage prop)
I saw this used to refer to building duds/rejects, specifically stage props. So the meaning should be wider.
