wrong size
Not the measurement
Wrong size describes something that doesn't fit its intended purpose or recipient—too large, too small, or otherwise mismatched.
The phrase appears constantly in shopping and returns: I ordered the wrong size, These shoes are the wrong size.
It can extend beyond physical dimensions: That job was the wrong size for his ambitions.
