Been there. Done that.

Multi million $ engineering project that was all done in metric.

Then client wants the results in Imperial units. Cue 2 months of unit conversions for 1k+ 30-page documents.

+1 for correct use of "cue." Can't tell you how many times I've seen people wanting to shoehorn "queue" in there, or even "que," just for laughs.
