Not sure if your concerns over the missed timelines havn't been adequately explained

I am satisfied that Tetra Tech was assuring management that everything was a go and then fell on their face with the finished product, that was deemed inadequate

As far as pumping, I won't characterized the enthusiasm that permeates a lot of the posts here as pumping

Pumping has a specific objective, artificially inducing a rise in share price, thru promotion, in order to sell at a profit, the dump
