We can recognize ideas that are from God by paying attention to the following facts:
If the plan is from God, it is an easy plan. If we dread the situation, there is something wrong with the arrangement, God is warning us.
Unfortunately, we sometimes try to explain our feeling away by saying, "Oh ... it's just me. I can get used to it."
The thinking of this world is often: "Just grit your teeth and do it." (That is not what God teaches us.)
James 3
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

God warns us:
If the project is complex, difficult, overly expensive ... pray and look for another plan.
That sub that recently exploded: 5 men closed up in a tube without any seating would immediately signal "not easy" for those of us who understand following God. The mother of the youngest young man who was killed said he did not want to go but went anyway to "bond" with his father.
Sadly there are many who go by reasoning of themselves and others without heeding warning facts.
Also if we are troubled by another person, even without cause, beware ... this could be God warning us about that person.
These are STOP SIGNS. To explain them away could cause us great harm. God uses such things to warn us.

Matthew 11 Jesus says
29 Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light.
