I'm not talking about the project closing process.

Is it the responsibility of a project manager to recommend to senior leadership or the customer to prematurely terminate a project with no reasonable chance of success? Should this decision be made only the by the project sponsor? What does the PM do in the case of a difference of opinion?

Assuming that the project is failing for reasons beyond the control of the PM, how does one terminate the project without also terminating your career?
