👉 Unfortunate engineering refers to the unfortunate or unintended consequences that arise from the design, construction, or operation of systems, structures, or processes. This often results in inefficiencies, failures, safety hazards, or environmental damage. For instance, a poorly designed bridge might collapse under stress, a flawed software algorithm could lead to security breaches, or an inefficient manufacturing process might generate excessive waste. The root cause is usually a misalignment between initial design assumptions and real-world conditions, leading to outcomes that were not anticipated or adequately accounted for during the engineering phase.
