Wembley wimply plods on

BBC SPORT | Football | Wembley dropped for FA Cup final
So another big project's completion is behind schedule.
Wembley will not be ready for the F.A. Cup final in early May.
It follows such examples as the Millenium Dome, the Athens Olympics, the Milennium Bridge, and others.
Why do big companies set these targets, and then don't begin working on them for ages?
For example, a large part of East London has been earmarked as the site for the 2012 Olympics... why don't they get there arses in gear and start working on it.
No doubt they won't start until about 2010, and work will not be completed on time. Contrast that to Paris' bid, where all the potential locations were already completed before they started to bid.
Of course, Wembley's bid was hardly helped by the fact most of the workers had been betting AGAINST it being complete, as the Scum revealed today.
I would actually be surprised if the stadium was ready for the Charity Shield match in August. But all it means is that Cardiff's stunning Millenium Stadium gets another one-up on it's London rival by hosting the event.
