There's a "thing" in project management called the "
critical path". If the bottleneck to getting the job done lies elsewhere, then there's literally no need to rush to get the design of this particular overpass done.
For example, cost constraints that limit the construction windows and workforce size might prevent the rest of the project from being completed earlier. If delaying the rail overpass construction doesn't affect the overall project completion date, then there's no need to get it done earlier. This is especially true if the resources who would be doing the design of this portion of the project are currently busy working on some other part which needs to be completed sooner.
And there can also be timing issues with the availability of funding, with only a certain amount to be spent in each annual budget.
I mean, they could still be too disorganized to do the job properly, but I'm just pointing out that there are valid reasons why these sort of things can happen.
