The sink is too deep for the countertop? Or too wide for the space?
Or someone measured once, then cut?
Honestly, in all my years experience doing home remodeling, the biggest head scratchers tend to come from overanalytical engineers.
Function, purpose, and ergonomics come before style, artistic design, aesthetics.
If you ask me.....someone built a house positioned according to a compass (smart), but the terrain only allowed for a driveway to come in from the side of the house....so some engineer thought it would be a good idea to have the kitchen sink facing the length of the driveway....you know, because human's necks don't readily turn.
(and for the record, I grew up in a city where many of my closest friend's parents were engineers (NASA, NSA, Ft Meade, Pentegon, etc. I know how they think....and it often went overboard.
