Well, you chose to bite off more more than you can chew (not, bite more than you can chew). The preposition “off” is part of the idiom.
You know full well that I won’t support this (not, fully well). To know something without a doubt is to know full well.
It’s normal for a researcher to get stuck (not, stucked).
