Good point. Try this one instead. A fleet of Vogon bureaucrats can build a hyperspace bypass, which requires demolishing existing infrastructure. To do so, they must first deposit plans for the construction at the local planning office several decades in advance for public review. But this is not to say that demolishing the Earth (after waiting the requisite time with no objection) is not something they could do. -root
