- Project leaders traced the slowdown to moisture damage in the concrete shell that hindered progress on site.
- The foundation reported microbiological contamination such as mold, bacteria and algae inside damp areas of the structure, and it has begun countermeasures.
- Officials said there is no construction halt, so remediation will run in parallel with ongoing work.
