Found on the way to somewhere else

From Jan, 2000:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has halted the construction of a school and hospital in San Bernardino county because 8 New Delhi Sands flies, the only fly on the endangered species list, were found near the construction site. The county has spent $4,000,000 thus far to relocate the flies and faces default on the project bonds ($42 million) because the Feds will not clear construction.
