I was at a meeting once about floor pockets at a stage at a large university. It was a project under construction and there was a flag on the play. The entire architectural team showed up - 5 architects, 8 consultants, 6 university representatives.

The contractor was at lunch.

When he reappeared half an hour later, we asked him "can you move that?"

He said "uh, yeah. Is that what this is about?"

An hour there, an hour back, 20 minutes to park, 20 minutes from the car, half an hour waiting, 15 minutes to debrief and talk about all the time we just wasted, times 19 guys that bill out at $200 an hour.
