I imagine they're different crews, but in many cases the added inconvenience is worse than the error, never mind the wasted cost.
I don’t know if this has actually happened, but there is another potential problem: if the panel is in the middle of a pour, the replaced panel may not match the adjacent panels perfectly. Often now they do a single pour, then cut the expansion joints in once it is mostly set. You can’t get a smoother joint between panels than that. I would go so far as to say that it is definitely better for a panel to be slightly out of spec than for its interfaces with adjacent panels to all be off by a bit due to being re-poured.
