July 16 to October 1 is 77 days (54 work days).
54 workdays from October 1 is December 18.
That's cutting it pretty close (and that's not including at testing of the newly installed equipment).
Even if they halve the time for the next 5 Waterloo installations, which seems unlikely given that there would be 5 not the current 3 they are working on, that would be 27 days or November 8 - still not a lot of wiggle room.
Why October? The document was published today. The 51% progress update is surely from some time earlier. If we assume it's from last Friday, for example, it's 43 work days. Add another 43 days to last Friday and we get 16 November 2018.
We don't need to know the date 51% completion was achieved. From the report we know the start date (July 16) and an expected end date (late September/early October) which allows us to calculate the duration of the procedure.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
