When you sign a million dollar contract or a one hundred dollar contract for a specific service from a service company, TT, you get a firm completion date not an approximate or ambiguous one. If the service company can't meet the deadline then the contract is re-negotiated with a new firm date as was the case when the FS date was first changed in the past. My "guess" is that CUU probably received the study on the legal contract agreed date, probably around the 1st of September, but due to the extent of the report they, CUU, under estimated the time it would take to review and analyse the report. They then 4th September NR, changed it from mid/end summer to end of September.

Now if this is the case, why not just put this issue into the open through a NR update.

Now I don't think this is an unreasonable of bellyaching type of request
