Analogy for arising difficulties

It sounds like you have opened a can of worms.

For every head you cut off, another two will grow back (Referencing the Hydra myth)

Related to the above, less violent:

For each question you answer/problem you solve, two more come/pop up.

A well-known saying refers to the situation where beginners think something is easy, but those at an intermediate stage are overwhelmed. It's often said as:

The more you learn, the less you know.

or

The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Both versions allude to the discovery of an insurmountable amount left to learn.
