And Deloitte Summit got completed in 3.5 years with lots of glass and during the Covid Pandemic for two years. I guess no supplier chain nightmare or other excuses! It is a large building to boot.
Maybe Deloitte already had it's glass purchased and stored offsite. Maybe Apple's supplier experienced issues Deloitte's supplier didn't. Maybe Apple's building design change partway through construction. Maybe Apple's contractors had problems finding adequate labour. Maybe the Apple delay is in fact due to incompetence. There could be a million reasons why some projects are slow while others are fast. Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. All I'd say is "assume" makes an ass out of "u" and "me"...

The steel started going up November 2020. Personally I think the roof was the biggest delay in the project (if there was a delay or if it was expected to take that long).

Isn't the glazing used on standalone Apple Store's normally a triple or quadruple laminated single glazed unit rather than the typical single pane but double/triple glazed unit in new build?

I looked last year when they were installing glass and I think they were sourcing it from Germany? Seele/Sedak has done their stores and the Apple HQ.
Some of their Asian stores had 4-6 plies of 12mm thick glass with SGP interlayers

A million excuses that cause millions of extra dollars. Sure.
They're doing something with the covering on the glass right now. They're taking off that white protective covering but still have black material inside or outside.
