Ha ha, hope it's done on time like that nearby airport
"After almost 15 years of planning, construction began in 2006. Originally planned to open in October 2011, the airport has encountered a series of delays and cost overruns. These were due to poor construction planning, execution, management, as well as corruption.[10][11][12] Autumn 2020 became the new target for the official opening date[13][14][15] as 2019 became too improbable.[16][17]"
