After completing day 8 my group mates have made the 3 bases and the major components of the marketing showpiece and round one of the donuts.  Learning the lesson the hard way I found out there is no such thing as enough research.   Meeting outside of class my group planning, sketch and are executing the donut showpiece now.  Having a concrete idea, plan, sketch and model makes the transition so much easier, and when you have four people working together, the entire process becomes easier.  Also being a group that communicates efficiently and works well to together some of the stress we felt has dissipated for our individual rooster from day 7.  Hopefully I feel less stressed and more confident throughout the day tomorrow as we complete our marketing showpiece.
