If I interpret correctly - OP wants to convey someone didn't get the anticipated result after putting in a lot of hard work. I have framed some sentences:
- My efforts did not provide the anticipated results.
- I didn't get the fruits of my labour.
- I did not reap the benefits of my efforts.
- I did not reap the rewards of my effort
- My hard work did not pay off.
- My efforts did not get the desired results.
- My efforts did not yield the expected outcomes.
