Right. My point was that back in 2012 they didn't have a construction schedule yet, so the goal was to make sure the trains were ready before the earliest possible construction completion date.
Sure they had a construction schedule back then; it wasn't detailed to the point of specific hours of specific days, but they had a general timeline and phasing:
• "2014: begin construction of LRT Stage 1; and"
• "2017: complete construction and begin operation of LRT Stage 1."
• "Phase 2 properties is required by the Region on or about June 30, 2013."
They also had the functional drawings, were expropriating property, and arranging for utility relocation/upgrades.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
