Thomas Edison didn't continually promise investors he would have it finished imminently for many years. He didn't say various bugs were fixed when they weren't. He didn't say he had a fully functional prototype then years later fail to get any more working and for some reason never show anyone the prototype actually functioning despite saying his plan was to rent out the prototype at a fee which was going to help fund production and development of future light bulbs. I'm quite sure that if when his promised production line light bulbs were not working years after he claimed he had a working model which was going to be rented out to fund the project, people would have been highly dubious about his ability to actually produce functional light bulbs, but in Edison's case, he didn't claim to have a functional light bulb until he actually did.

well said, a team of highly paid resources whose job is to bring the asset to production is overdue by 6 - 8 months. There is no justification in that, only lessons and learnings.
