I did that once in a video studio I'd designed. Analog video signals have to be in time with one another if you're to switch between them smoothly, and that meant that cables had to be cut to length according to a schedule so the video signals would be properly timed. Naturally, when we went to time the new room, one cable proved to be longer than all the others, and since it followed a direct route, there was no way to shorten it. So I looked up the propagation velocity of various kinds of coax cable. Sure enough, I found a cable that had a higher propagation velocity than the cable we had used, so I replaced the offending cable with a length of that, and everything came into time.
