Who is telling porkies to the UK public? It makes one despair.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
It would take 6 years and 3 months for the army of several hundred solicitors, accountants, managers, facilitators, consultants, contractors, sub-contractors, sub-sub-contractors, etc to work out a plan for action. All this would cost billions because these are very expensive people to employ.
Nice work if you can get it !
Then a team of 20 technicans working on a ridiculously tight timescale and tiny budget would have to work like stink and take 9 months to bang up the stanchions and string the knitting together. When they'd finished they would be cited as the reason that the whole project had taken so long and overrun by so much.
Been there, done that.
