It wasn’t until much later that “late 2017” started to appear in reports.

Thanks for the post...I really thought I was losing my mind that the original wording was early 2017...

However … at that point there was no fixed construction plan yet. So they were looking for vehicle availability in early 2017, just in case they were able to finish construction by that time. As it happened, construction started much later and really wasn't done until late 2017 or mid-2018, depending on how you count.
