I remember either Eric Fowler or Arthur Fidler (can't remember which 
however!) telling me of one job they did for Taylors where the church 
architect insisted on the drag-cleats being cut off the foundation 
girders before he would allow them to be inserted in the tower walls.   
No amount of explantion as to their purpose would persuade him 
otherwise.

As Chris Pickford has already said, the architect is the boss on these 
occasions and the contactor has to do his bidding.
