These constraints are negligibly small for the government, no? And this project can be active for years if needed. “Till it’s over, over there.”

I wouldn’t say they’re small constraints because they’re not necessarily easy to fix. They could ease the load on the local authorities planning offices by hiring more staff or easing regulations, which will always drag on and take time. There’s the fighting with NIMBY’s in courts. And there’s also only so many builders in the country that can be on projects at any given time.
