What About Lost Production?

(The numbers below are not meant to be accurate, simply representational)

Lets say I have 40 production units in the box waiting to go towards buying say a bank... then I switch to a phalanx. Most of the production units go into a gray are, while the ones required for the phalanx have a white background. But when I buy the pahalanx, I lose ALL of the production units?????

What's up with that?

Is this how it's supposed to go?

Yup, excess production are lost, if you change prod orders to something with less cost in shields. Simple yet elegant.
