When a stack is created for the first time, has automatic rollback enabled (default setting) and it fails to create the stack for any reason. Then the stack goes into ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state after rolling back. A stack in ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state cannot be updated and you'd need to create a new stack to deploy it.
There are two solution to this issue:
1. If a stack if in ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state, delete it first and then try deploying new stack.
2. You can disable automatic rollback for future deployments to prevent stack from going into ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state if it fails during creation - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/stack-failure-options.html#stack-failure-options-conditions

ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state and can not be updated.
