[Circuit of the Americas spokesman Jeff Hahn] said that any appearance of non-activity at the 900-acre site can be attributed to the phasing nature of construction work. Hahn added that, due to dry weather, early work has moved quicker than planned.
The circuit spokesman told the newspaper that because the construction phases also include a timetable for payments to be released, it’s probable that contractors now must wait a few days for the next installment.
“We’re matching the (bank) draw schedule to the construction schedule,” the American Statesman quotes him as saying.

I was just thinking the same thing the other day - that the
only good thing about the drought was that the project was probably running ahead of schedule.
I don't know much about the construction/financing process, but his explanation seems plausible to me. What do the rest of you think?
