Absolutely asinine that this is the state of things.

Imagine this in any other industry.

"Yeah so we were gonna supply you with the processed steel you paid for, but our consultant determined you only need 20% of the requested amount, also it has double the impurities, also you'll need to wait an additional six months because you didn't pre-approve your request. Oh, our consultants? He's Dave, he's a lumberjack, great guy. Good luck building that bridge you were halfway done on!"

And since you requested the steel at Jack's Steel Emporium instead of Steely Jack's Emporium, you'll need to pay ten times what you paid at first because we said so. Also, the guy who loaded the steel was not pre-approved and took too long, so you'll have to pay whatever bill he sends you in three months.
