On the other hand failing to change production had it's
drawbacks. Britain ended up producing 1,771 tanks that were only
ever used for training, the Covenanter.

However, the Covenanter went through four marks during its production
run in (repeated, unsuccessful) efforts to solve its chronic overheating
problem, so "failing to change production" doesn't really apply there.
