The classic move, not just in California but everywhere, is a lawsuit about the "environmental impact" of the project on some kind of local wildlife.
Davis has a somewhat famous precedent for that too: https://localwiki.org/davis/Toad_Tunnel https://localwiki.org/davis/Toad_Tunnel

Oh sure, "environmental impact" can be about wildlife and the environment, but it could also be as minimal as traffic patterns and aesthetics. That's why just about anyone can get in on the California environmental review process and go through several rounds of delays in hopes of extorting something from you, and a key reason California has trouble building anything. On the other hand, "omg! birds running into the windows!" is as good a start as any.
