I'd bet it is a stupid reason. There are accounting rules reasons that if it wasn't active or potentially active in a certain time frame, that the property wouldn't count in the same way on their books. Which potentially effects loans, taxes, partnerships, etc.
Could be, but they also did change the design, and that would have cost some money.
The design change would have cost some money, but fairly minimal. Once the DP was approved they’d be spending more on actually builder construction plans.
No renderoing shown publicly. There's one at City Hall kicking around somewhere, but would require an in-person visit.
