I believe that the FIA approved the plans, but it was on arrival that Whiting and co discovered that the circuit hadn't been built to that plan. Namely the hairpin area was built narrower than the plans indicated.
The first attempts to run on the circuit as built was political face saving and glad-handing by A1GP and the Chinese authorities.
The modification was done to Whiting's on-site specifications, namely making best of a bad lot to allow the event to take place in some form.
