wrong measurements
Errors in sizing
Wrong measurements are inaccurate readings or dimensions—numbers that don't reflect the true size, quantity, or value of what's being measured.
The phrase usually implies error rather than deliberate falsification: The cabinet doesn't fit because someone took wrong measurements.
Wrong measurements in construction, medicine, or science can have serious consequences.
