Mitsubishi MRJ-90 First Flight to be Delayed?

It's not clear from the information in the link exactly how much delay is anticipated, but there is a bit of gouge near the end of the article regarding how many planes will eventually be involved in the test program.  Historically, the track record of any major development project at the 15% completion point will tell you how they will fall on the schedule at completion: if they are behind schedule at 15%, they will STAY behind schedule.  Not a great start, although the company remains optimistic.
