Maybe expectations could be better managed if instead of announcing a specific completion date, such as 2031, they would give a window instead, such as 2031-2033 or something like that.
That's still kind of loose - and not at all confidence inspiring. No one else gets a 2 year contingency padding. It's a funded subway line that has already been tendered - not one that is still in the drawing board.
The public is paying $11B+ for this project - there should be a reasonable date communicated to the public, not a "it will happen when it happen" response. The lack of a firm date also short-circuit the ability of the public to hold a party accountable - it becomes a carte blanche for anything from legitimate, unavoidable challenges to poor performance.
And of course, the latter is exactly the point. Avoidance of accountability.
