"Brussels on the other hand will have changed their mind about the spec 6 times"
The entire thing has been a work in progress.
This hasn't been due so much an EU issue as mission creep on the commercial side, however the accuracy requirements weren't achievable when the first designs hit the drawing boards. As such much of the delays have been down to proving the base chassis and then working on better iterations of the nav side until it met the specs.
