Three weeks to fix a simple window flashing detail

I spent three whole weeks fighting water intrusion on a window I installed in a custom build near Portland. Turned out the flashing tape I used was 2 inches too short on the bottom, and no one caught it until after the siding was on. Has anyone else dealt with a tiny mistake that ballooned into a huge delay?

Three weeks for a 2 inch tape mistake? That seems a bit dramatic.

Seriously though, some people just love to blow things way out of proportion...
