Why does it come as such a surprise that this is running late. Did
this running late only occure in the last 6 months?
I liked the way that Wembley Stadium was on time right up until the
opening date then overnight it was year late.

Same with Terminal 5, which was claimed to be on time and on budget
right up to the opening day. It soon transpired that it had actually
been running at least a couple of months late, and opened unfinished and
with the staff untrained because they couldn't get enough access in
advance. Chaos ensued.

As for Wembley, I thought there had been well-known problems well before
opening day, such as with the steel works contractor downing tools.
