I was only addressing the headline about the rail "plan" being over two and a half years late since it was totally absent from your comment.  I re-read my comment and it seems pretty clear to me.  

Once a project is underway, the plan needs to be updated continually because conditions change, things happen, and you have to adjust to those - that's project management 101.  However, if you choose to read more than that into it, that's okay with me.  I'm not offended in the slightest.
