Loss in terms of money or efforts. Could be recent or ancient.

Coming down from the trees was a pretty big blunder. Nothing but losses ever since.

And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
