: Perhaps even 'failure to obtain (the) environmental go-ahead', depending on the type of 'error(s)' committed.

German term (edited):
Fehler bei der umweltschutzseitigen Ermöglichung von Projekten.
Environmental requirements not fully met for approval of (certain) projects.
"umweltschutzseitig" cannot be regarded by itself but must be seen in connection with the "Ermöglichung von Projekten" as Andrew pointed out.
Without any further context I think it must mean "approval of projects" as I cannot think of any other automotive project "enabling" in terms of environmental sustainability.
So this is just an alternative.

environmental feasibility
"Mistakes impacting the environmental feasibility of projects" or perhaps more speculatively, "mistakes made in obtaining environmental clearance for projects".
On balance, I'd stick with the first option. After all, "environmental feasibility" and "environmental feasibility studies" are already widely used terms in this context. Other solutions seem to lean in a similar direction as my second option but that's making assumptions, in my opinion. We haven't been given any information that would clearly point us towards a more narrow reading of "Ermöglichung."

environmentally unfeasible projects
Rather brief I know - but assuming that this sentence is a (sub)-header/title and will be expanded upon below.
