Guys,
I think we're beginning to stray from the point. Terry's point was not the length of time it takes to get work done, it was promising the work would be done by a certain time, and missing that date by several orders of magnitude. If a maker says it will take ten years to do a job, that's fine -- so long as he delivers in ten years. At least the customer has a basis for making an educated decision. However, if said maker quotes a two-year delivery, and takes ten to deliver, that is a problem. And, that is one of the problems that Terry was referring to.
