Re: Get the basics right first.
It therefore makes sense (to the beancounters) if they are slipping a bit, to concentrate on an easy area, and defer the tricky ones that they had planned to do.
A lot of missed targets are also down to third parties.
* Councils taking a long time to approve planning.
* Councils refusing planning permission.
* Local electricity network operator taking a long time to provide power to cabinet (very common reason).
and another common one BT has to deal with:
* Local ducting in worse condition than expected.
This can be a double whammy. First because it delays getting the fibre to the cabinet and secondly because clearing it requires roadworks which come with their own delays and problems.
