The specifics of the legal challenges were not detailed in the available information. Similarly, the exact timeline for the construction’s commencement or completion remains undetermined, as the legal proceedings continue in parallel with the court’s authorization for construction to proceed.

The nature of these disputes, the parties involved in challenging the project, and the specific grounds for their legal action are not publicly available from the provided summary.
Further details regarding the project’s scope beyond its cost and the identity of the involved entities responsible for construction have not been provided.
