The way I have interpreted the situation based on the postings to date:
At the begining WFE submitted in principle advice to get guidance on what minimum requirements they needed to relist based in their situation and the info at hand. Once this was ticked off they could apply to relist with confidence. At the time WFE probably didn't have key contracts signed/executed (eg offtakes etc.). But they probably thought it was possible to get ASX acceptance based on submissions from other companies with lesser requirements.
As time went on they submitted information and documents hoping to meet the ASX requirements. This took longer than expected as possibly both parties did not have a specifice roadmap checklist on what was reasonably acceptable.
Last submission to ASX under the in principle advice application, it may have been identifies that an executed funding and offtake was probably required (which probably is more than what other companies have been requested of).
Demonstrating funding to ASX may now be addressed through reworking their JV and Plant agreements plus dual listing on LSE.
WFE probably did not anticipate the lengthy delay and time taken to work through this application just to get an idea if it was good enough. During this time the negotiations with offtake(s) had probably matured to the point where its almost signed off. Hence WFE probably has now realised if they wait a bit longer and submit an executed offtake agreement(s) and the reworked funding this should be more than enough of the last info for relisting.
To avoid further delays in waiting feedback from asx, cancel the in principle advice and apply to relist by submitting all of the past documents including funding and offtake agreements (with results of shareholder approval to come).
If ASX agrees by July we are in good shape. If no response or its still not accepted by then, look at listing elsewhere. Based on the "comprehensive" documentation it may be assumed that this should now be more than enough to be accepted by other exchanges if ASX are still not satisfied.
Ultimately it'll be a longer journey to get us relisted if we list elsewhere).
Who knows and I may be way off the mark. Just my ramblings to put things in perspective for myself.

I think its pretty simple really... ASX knows another company has tried this strategy before (CFE) and that despite claims of 'near term production' and 'Strategic investment proposed by Chinese to secure cobalt and copper offtake, fund all necessary plant upgrades at the Processing Plant and provide additional working capital to assist the Company in acquiring other advanced cobalt projects' that 2 years on absolutely nothing has eventuated and the share price has crashed as a result.
The ASX has done their job for once and asked them to 'prove it' before they can trade again.
As said 12+ months ago, if it was this easy to cut corners, everyone would do it.
