Basically Mindy can't sell original ideas because the studios don't trust her so she was given the option to adapt pre-existing IP. If it was successful then she'd be given the greenlight on a pet project. Since it failed that more than likely won't happen. This is pretty common, it's why we get so many adaptions by people you can tell didn't care about the source.
