I interpret this as a series of small technical issues that are being overcome before another teething issue arises, hence the shorter term requests. It’s a code of sorts, letting the market know it’s not a major issue, and they’re expecting to get it fixed quickly. Now after having a few of these, they’ve identified that there could be several of these small technical fixes, and know to give themselves a wider berth than originally expected. Aussies are always ambitious with project timelines, this has been no different. I’ve started to take quotes on timelines and costs, and just doubled them to save everyone the hassle, lol.
