They can still utterly frustrate you in the way they do this. They could fe print them out layer by layer and only show these in a specific "viewing room". I have seen my government (Belgium) use this strategy when it comes to architectural plans. In essence, it's public (you can access them) but it's also rather useless.

Do they offer an explanation as to why it’s set up that way?

It seems too comically slow and inconvenient.

I guess they want to limit your time with them. If you could study them whenever you want with whatever tools you have, you can easily find conflicts between the plans and the building regulations. This would allow you to block the planned construction works.

Even with the current protocol people find ways to block "progress". For example, the Oosterweel Link [0], which has been postponed multiple times.

Are exceptions to buildings regulations not typically documented somewhere in Belgium?
