Large panel distribution board, with all three front doors not opening fully because they hit the tray and lights.
Would you classify it as C2 or C3?

Could the doors be lifted off if you needed to get in more than just to look at the breakers ?
How did they fit that lot and not notice ?
Its certainly a C3, though unless it has potential to become dangerous in some way that a properly installed one cannot , rather than just bleep stupid, its not really a C2..

PS I'd be wondering if the hinges could be slotted down a bit and the light moved.

One option is that someone(s) was in installing-as-per-the-drawing mode. If I see things like this, I might start to question who did what, and when, and perhaps look to see if this attitude (or contractual obligation...) has resulted in other examples, which if the root cause is project managenent might not just be electrical.
... Quite possible that perhaps the lighting was fitted first, the panel arrived later but was larger than anticipated in the design and a PM refused to permit a variation for the contractor to redo the traywork once it was realised.
