A total bu**s**t course of action agreed upon by two or more parties; supposedly it comes with benefits for all concerned, but in reality the plan generally ends in disaster, often for everyone involved.
A classic case of a win/win solution "gone sour" --- literally --- would be when a commercial farming-outfit approaches a nearby cash-strapped community to ask if they can pay them some much-needed revenue to dump organic waste in an uninhabited area of the municipality... at first blush it may sound like a good deal, but of course what usually happens in reality is that said waste "stinks to high Heaven" so much that the townspeople angrily vote to close the dump-site, forcing the mega-farm to look elsewhere for a dumpsite, and obliging the town to pay astronomical sums to have the already-dumped waste carted off to be disposed of.

A response to a problem that appears to solve a problem in order to make the solver(s) look better, but doesn't actually solve a problem.
The new system increased the graduation rate to 100%. (This is an optical solution because they lowered the lowered the standards to pass, now the school looks better).
Our planes always land on time. (This is an optical solution because they added an hour to the time of flight, so the airline looks better).
We are giving you 20% off. (This is an optical solution because they raised the price 40% first, so they look like they are giving people a deal).
The school now has great test scores. (This is an optical solution because they make the exam optional, and the high scoring kids take it. Now the school looks good).

The school now has great test scores. (This was an optical solution because they make the exam optional...the high scoring kids take it therefore the problem wasn't really solved).
