Supporting yesterday, legacy product, does nothing for you or your client in the long run. It squanders your resource pool on the same old rather than innovation and change and it dooms your product to obsolescence in time. Not good for you or your user. Build for tomorrow.

To really innovate you need to ship software at least every couple of weeks. Get it out there, get feedback, adjust, and ship again. If you can’t ship this fast it isn’t a development problem. It is a management problem. Know exactly what you want. Pick the most important thing to do. Build it. Ship it. Stop asking for everything but the kitchen sink.

If you can’t trust your employees to work from home I think that might be the tell tale, tip of the iceberg, for much bigger problems.
