This is taking over my meadow grass

Hi - please help me!
Early in May we had a meadow turf laid called 'birds and bees'. It has been rather disappointing, only a few cornflowers, loads of Ammi, no poppies and has been completely taken over by, what looks like, a parsnip. The root is in my hand and the background is the leaf in the picture
. Does anyone have any idea what this is and if I need to remove it before I cut it back and reseed it in Autumn? These plants are taking all the moisture out the soil and I am so disappointed. We have gone back to the people that laid it, who haven't a clue what it is and in turn are waiting to hear back from the producer, but that will take weeks.
Thanks so much in advance for any help!

Its def not horseradish, but I can see your thinking. I think an evening primrose might be on the money. It hasn't flowered at all, but I read up and it seems they flower in the second year. I'm going to dig some up and leave some and see what happens!
Thanks again for replying - I really appreciate it
