reinvent the wheel
waste time or effort in creating something that already exists.
reinvent the wheel
<jargon> To design or implement a tool equivalent to an
existing one or part of one, with the implication that doing
so is silly or a waste of time. This is often a valid
criticism. On the other hand, automobiles don't use wooden
rollers, and some kinds of wheel have to be reinvented many
times before you get them right. On the third hand, people
reinventing the wheel do tend to come up with the moral
equivalent of a trapezoid with an offset axle.

Reinventing the wheel
To reinvent the wheel is to attempt to duplicate—most likely with inferior results—a basic method that has already previously been created or optimized by others.
The inspiration for this idiomatic metaphor is that the wheel is an ancient archetype of human ingenuity (one so profound that it continues to underlie much of modern technology). As it has already been invented and is not considered to have any inherent flaws, an attempt to reinvent it would add no value to it and be a waste of time, diverting the investigator's resources from possibly more worthy goals.
