"I arrive at that date because by then the wafers from BAE will be delivered and maybe ABEL can help by answering how long after they are delivered will it take to get etched,because I think that is the last piece of the commercial puzzle."
From what I was told and understand, POET does Molecular Beam Epitaxy work to the wafers then, they send the wafers to BAE for the full completion of the final product.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_beam_epitaxy)
Etching would be done by BAE:
Etchingis used in microfabrication to chemically remove layers from the surface of a wafer during manufacturing.

"The current phase of the work will be performed between March 2015 and August 2015. Key objectives of the collaboration include process transfer, prototype builds and design enablement kit development.
"Process transfer" - Taking POET IP and applying it to BAE Fabs flows.
"Prototype builds" - Functional prototype, straight up.
"The Company believes that using BAE Systems’ manufacturing and test capabilities will help the Company to build devices that dramatically demonstrate the disruptive nature of the technology."
"Design enablement kit development" - Using the Fab data from the entire process for continuing improvement of the fabrication process & building the critical data needed by Fabs to incorporate the POET process into their flows.
or
"Using BAE Systems’ ISO Certified manufacturing facility will improve the quality, process control and analytical capacity of prototype builds. The result will be both a more manufacturable process and improved optimization of the device structures included in the POET technology."

“Working with BAE Systems will enable the acceleration and maturation of the POET fabrication process for a faster prototype demonstration and a smoother transition to manufacturing.”
BAE is helping us make better prototypes, with faster flows and with the consistency of data required to make a recipe book for Fabs, if you will..
BAE is on the record for building our prototypes already:

2011:
In June 2011, BAE independently produced operational transistors on gallium arsenide wafers, further validating critical components of the POET process. By June 2011, ODIS, under the supervision of Dr. Geoffrey Taylor, had completed several wafers containing multiple devices produced with POET Technology. In August 2011, BAE Systems ran a fabrication lot of five wafers using POET. Chips were produced from these wafers and tested to further validate the varied capabilities and devices developed utilizing the POET platform. ODIS has made significant progress regarding POET as it pertains to its advancements in optical interconnection of high speed circuits, making it possible to implement an optical interface as a single chip to connect existing complementary metal oxide semiconductor (“CMOS”) processors.

2014:
"The achievement of these devices marks a significant milestone in development, realizing with a commercial foundry the integration of both electronic devices (n-channel transistors) with optical devices (IR detector) in a monolithic process.
The accomplishment is made more significant because the POET wafers used for the IR devices were fabricated with an independent foundry, BAE Systems’ Microelectronics Center in Nashua, New Hampshire."
"Dr. Geoff Taylor, member of the Board of Directors of POET and Chief Scientist, said, “Our successful fabrication of a functioning integrated optoelectronic device, using the POET platform, should be considered a major breakthrough for POET and the industry.”http://www.poet-technologies.com/poet-technologies-announces-integrated-optoelectronic-infrared-device-fabrication-and-industrial-foundry-validation/
