Apparently their rental contracts did have some clauses providing for at least alternate accommodation in case of construction delays. Provided that the builder lives up the contract, it's not really negligence, although still not a good thing.
The lessons here are for prospective renters of newly-built buildings: make sure you are adequately protected, as delays are not unlikely. If the contract doesn't provide for any protection, consider renting somewhere else. (Unfortunately condo buyers usually have even less protection from delays than renters do.)
