It complains because you have a different number of full measures in the two voices: eight full 4/4 measures after the repeat in the tuba part, and seven in the chords part. Thus, the time change that you have indicated in the chords, fall in the middle of the last full tuba measure. BTw, you don't have to indicate time changes in both parts; unless you specify differently, a change in one will apply to the whole score.
