wrong location
Not the place
Wrong location describes being in or referring to a place other than the intended or correct one.
The phrase often appears in navigation contexts when someone has arrived somewhere by mistake: The GPS sent us to the wrong location.
It also surfaces in logistics and data management when items or information end up where they shouldn't: The package was delivered to the wrong location.
In casual speech, it can explain why plans failed: We missed each other—I was at the wrong location.
