There's a great podcast called "How To F#€k Up An Airport" which details the many _many_ problems building a new airport in Berlin.

One of the funniest to me was that the architect didn't like the forced shopping path of modern airports. So he just didn't add any. And no-one noticed until after they'd built the foundations, so then they added a new floor, but it would be out of the way so who'd want to go there reducing income forecasts, while requiring new ventilation requirements, fire suppression systems etc.

If you work on poorly defined constantly changing software tasks it's all quite familiar. Just with a literal airport.

Was there recently. On the plus side, it's less objectionable than either of Berlin's previous airports, but it really is a bit of a weird mess.
