I have suffered this problem over the years. As an electrician it’s almost stopped my heart sometimes when I’ve realized I’ve installed the wrong size conduit and now the proper size wire won’t fit in it. Most of the time I have been an electrical foreman running large projects. This gives me time to double check my calculations, or print reading. Even so, sometimes I get the wrong number in my head, and all the outside lights around a project are 6 inches lower than on the plan. then I’m in mad panic checking all the different prints to see if there is a coordination issue, and stressing over someone noticing.
No wonder we suffer from so much anxiety.
All I can suggest is accepting that you can not rush when reading drawings, and double checking as a matter of course . I find that it’s mainly when I’m rushing (on autopilot) that these mistakes occur.
