And the ultimate reason of this catastrophe was: Ignoring the System test result and prematurely releasing into production.

Nothing new for IT - shipping too early :)

"In the months that followed, King Gustav changed his orders several times, leading to total chaos and confusion for the builders."

This also sounds typical...
