Statue of Liberty was supposed to be a lighthouse. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi wanted to create a lighthouse in Egypt but the project was canceled so he turned it into a statue with the help of Eiffel, creator of the famous Tower, and the original statue stands in France.

Android was not supposed to be used for phones. It was created for cameras and after working out quite nicely the creators decided that they will go onto a larger market. Two years later Google bought it for 130 million dollars.
