This sounds a lot like people I know:
Bungling engineers have been left red-faced after building a railway tunnel that's too small for trains to actually fit through.
The costly mistake was only discovered when inspectors measured the finished tunnel in the Polish capital, Warsaw, and realised the roof was so low that no trains would get under it.
Rail bosses claim the mix-up happened because workers who were laying new tracks didn't talk to the team that was building the tunnel.
...The cock-up is the latest in a series of public transport construction fiascoes in Poland.
A tunnel built recently to divert lorry traffic in Warsaw turned out to be too low for lorries.
Last year, the Polish road authority produced plans for two sections of major motorway that would have missed each other by five miles - each coming to a dead end in the middle of the countryside.
