bikeshedding - Wiktionary


"a committee whose job is to approve plans for a nuclear power plant may spend the majority of its time on relatively unimportant but easy-to-grasp issues, such as what materials to use for the staff bikeshed, while neglecting the design of the power plant itself."

Funny word and origin. Like "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic."
