Here is an example: You plan out a mini-boss on the 5th floor of the dungeon. But your players decide to stone shape a wall and if you kept the map as is they would avoid this mini-boss entirely.
Some game masters will just give up on their mini-boss fight they spent an hour or two creating, but that isn't the best option.
