Admittedly possible. But I do think the start of this project was pushed out by not a small amount by the TTC project delays.
Now for the TTC one, I would more readily accept a design issue as a likely cause. But Boeing's 787 program was also delayed three years, and it really wasn't design issues -- systems integration was the biggest culprit there.
