Council stated that much of the delay was internal. The detailed plans weren't approved and they didn't have tenants.
"It was also revealed by city staff that the court challenge against Lansdowne Park did not delay the project, as they had said before. Instead the planning for Lansdowne Park was not ready for its earlier deadline 18 months ago."

Regardless, even if the delay had been entirely due to neighbourhood opposition, your attitude is punitive. It implies that if you use legal methods to oppose a council decision, you are fair game to be punished by the council waiving the bylaws.
I wonder what the retail tenants think of this. The city and developer aren't doing much to endear themselves to the primary customers of their banks and drug stores.
