A publisher I use to work for, we'd be given the spine width to do the Creative work. But at some point in the process someone in Manufacturing, Purchasing or whatever department would chance to a different stock, and fail to notify us. We'd end up with similar problems. Sometimes there would be time to make the changes, other times not.
