I'm always quick to give any project the benefit of the doubt (seeing as construction management is my career), because depending on a million factors, something like a rooftop unit for HVAC systems can go from 16 week leadtime to 6 months with almost no notice, and there's probably several hundred examples of those types of things happening.

Bring in the added factors that come with Disney - their proclivity for delaying work to align with fiscal timelines, fluctuations due to creative decision making, or could be as crazy as last-minute-added design changes to accommodate a relocated future expansion (fingers crossed for AC Monsters).... But end of the day, it could totally just be as reported. You have a big idea for how set pieces or something will work in a space, and you go down the road with developing it, all for it to not work as you intended, and you're back to the drawing board. Ya never know. Smaller projects/tasks can sometimes turn out far more difficult than people expect
