Some of the blueprints to the Sagrada Familia were also destroyed during the Spanish Civil War during the 1930's which makes it even harder to finish the building. They have to build the building in some areas by scratch. It is very hard to respect Gaudi's plans when those plans are destroyed.

Even worse are developers that have screwed or is screwing up the building. One is the construction of the apartment buildings at the main entrance in the 1970's. There was supposed to have been an even grander entrance but when they built those buildings there the grand entrance couldn't be built. Now the high speed rail tunnel will run underneath the church which can potentially damage it especially when the trains are going to start running. So blame other people for the slow down of the construction of the church. Now you know the reason why I hate people sometimes.
