Pilot Plant - Delay

The pilot plant will be ready to receive equipment end of November 2008. Delayed by three months. Normally I would react negatively to such confirmation. This case is an exception. When the chairman asked if it is acceptable, I gave a nod. Not possible not to nod after being shown the impromptu Gannt chart. A blessing perhaps. We have not forwarded downpayment to at least one of the three suppliers as at now. Thus they have not started fabrication and that would result in delay in delivery. So, the whole project is well synchronised [sic].
