Rome wasn't built in a day?

I know that "Rome wasn't built in a day" is primarily used to suggest that it takes a lot of effort and a long time to succeed in something. But can I use this phrase to refer to a negative situation or condition which was caused by a lot of reasons for a long time, rather than a single reason within a short time? Or can this phrase be only used for positive situation?
