Respect diversity-
In engineering, this would be called a design requirement. Many times, in the real world, you get design requirements (from your customer) that make designing more difficult. This is where real engineering comes in.

Designing within a specific size requirement is pretty typical in the real world. Fixtures cannot take up all of your bench space, a customer wants to put your device inside his without changing his envelope, etc,etc,etc.

This "box" is just another challange.
