Why is the coil, chiller, tower oversized in Energy-Plus ?

The total cooling load of the entire facility is only 2700 kW, however the autosized design coil load is 8600 kW, the nominal capacity of the chiller and tower are 8600 and 8100 kW respectively. There is no sharp changes in design day schedule. Yet, how does this oversizing occur ?
