Programs never go exactly as planned, so Monday-morning-quarterbacking is kind of pointless, but as a career DT guy, I've got to say that there is a reason that most programs are laid out with a large serving of developmental testing before production ramps up. Hopefully most of the growing pains are behind them and the added costs of structural retrofits will be less than the money saved by early production.
