Below is also from the DFS probably best sums it up, the diagram demonstrating the evolution of the project is more an indicator of the time it would take more than the actual time it starts IMO.
Of course seeking funding, regulatory approvals and community support have been ongoing for some time but untill they are in place not a lot can happen. Hope for an early start and plan for a later one and be pleasantly supprised if hope wins out.

”Sayona will now look to review the timelines given the current market conditions, and coantinue to advance the necessary regulatory approvals, seek community support and secure the necessary financing and project partners capable of advancing this Project through to successful production, with the ultimate ambition to integrate Moblan into a regional supply chain for battery materials in Québec.
