Why is the 3d orbital not 4d?

In the electronic configuration of transition metal we first fill 4s-orbital since the energy of 4s-orbital is less than the 3d-orbital due to screening of nucleus charges. But when the 3d-orbital is filled up with electron after having been filled up 4s-orbital, the energy of 3d orbital is found to be reduced.

Answer:
According to the aufbau principle the 4s orbital is lower in energy than the 3d orbital hence, it is filled first. However, when we consider a transition metal complex this does not apply; the 3d orbital is filled before the 4s orbital. What causes this change in energy and order of filling?
