Custom Track Bike Hypothetical

So I'm in a situation where I put a deposit on a custom track bike, that's on target to be finished somewhere around 8 or 9 months later than the builder predicted. The bike is about 70% built, I think. Anyway somewhere in those 8 or 9 months with moving and starting to commute by bike, my bike priorities changed a bit, and now I'm not certain that I really need a custom track bike. What's more is I'm having some doubts about the fit of the bike. It sounds like it might actually be a bit too large for me.

What do you think I can do in the situation? Just finish the build and put the bike up on eBay? I'm not sure I'll be able to find someone to pay what I did for the bike. Or do you think I can work something out with the builder? Any suggestions? I'm feeling all kinds of guilty for even ordering the bike now. I suppose this isn't much of a hypothetical.
