It looks like NR is trying to pass the blame on to the contractors:
"Along the 14-mile route, a number of the structures, which carry the
overhead lines, were incorrectly designed and couldn’t be installed at the
planned locations. Late delivery of materials and structures also led to
further delays."
I think NR would have used different words if the faults had been its own.
NR's fault is (once again) lack of project management and performing
checks on what was being designed/manufactured.
Yup
