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.
