It's also just kind of how these things tend to go. I mean even the the funny international one ITER. Has had this exact issue, they keep pushing back deadlines over and over again. Which is only really surprising if you aren't familiar with the tech, it's highly complex. But it's a great example as to why this stuff happens.
