Narrative:

During preflight; I checked all the circuit breaker panels. I saw that there was a circuit breaker collared behind the first officer (first officer) seat; but it looked like the normal collars that are used on items that have been deactivated. So I thought nothing of it.we pushed back; started both engines; shut down the APU and taxied out on two engines.then a weather delay caused us to shut an engine down to save gas. The moment we shutdown the number two engine; we lost all kinds of things. And got some odd EICAS messages. Then the avionics stopped cooling properly. We called [maintenance]; but after a while they told us to return to the gate. Eventually it became clear that the bus ties were not working.we got back to the gate and a mechanic found that the collared circuit breaker behind the first officer seat was the 'bus tie enable' circuit breaker. He said that whoever put that collar on should have used the red collars that have 'remove before flight' ribbons on it. The mechanic took it very seriously and said he was going to follow up with proper reports and with the maintenance training department.

Narrative: During preflight; I checked all the CB panels. I saw that there was a CB collared behind the First Officer (FO) seat; but it looked like the normal collars that are used on items that have been deactivated.
