Why can't I build a wall?

We already have an answer for a similar question which you can see here:
Try to build wall and it shows error (construction failed) I still haven..

If you have more answers to add you can do that below.

Clearly this is a bug, still they have not been able to fix this.

I couldn’t either until I had my worker’s free of doing other things. Once I had at least two free workers I was able to build walls.
