It will depend of course on the terms of the mission.
But usually you might expect a fall in your reputation with the mission provider and a reduction in your bank balance if there was a fine involved.
Those more knowledgeable on politics and economics will be needed for information relating to Power Play or BGS consequences.

This is a "mission failure", rather than "mission abandoned". The things that will happen:
Abandoning a mission, rather than sitting around waiting for it to fail, will cause all of the above effects, except for the drop in Influence.
- You will get a fine. To access services in space stations controlled by the faction which gave you the mission, you will need to pay the fine first. You can pay the fine in any station where the faction is present (they do not need to be the controlling faction).
- Any mission-specific cargo still in your hold becomes "illegal - stolen". You cannot deliver it or give it back to the faction it came from. You have to either dump it, or sell it at a black market. Getting scanned by the cops anywhere in the galaxy except in Anarchies while it's aboard will get you a further fine.
- You will lose quite a lot of Reputation points with the issuing faction. Your Reputation might drop as a result (eg. Friendly to Neutral, or Unfriendly to Hostile).
- The faction issuing the mission will suffer a drop in Influence. This might cause their economy to collapse or even cause them to go to war with another faction.

This is why I like donation missions - failing them deliberately, coupled with positive actions for other factions, can be really effective
