What’s the holdup on construction on the lot we purchased downtown? We planned for that facility to be open next quarter, but the last report I got says we haven’t even broken ground yet. Is there a problem I’m not aware of? I don’t see the point in throwing money at a vacant lot. Unless there’s significant movement soon, we’re going to have to revise the projections, and we can’t even do that sensibly unless we know what the realities of the situation are. Can I have a clear picture of the present situation and the anticipated progress?

This question is good but don't you find the word "Testing" used in statement 2 of question 1 a bit wrong? Because email#2 says that they decided they "should" do the testing, I imply that they haven't given the samples for testing yet, hence, the reason behind delay would not be "testing" but delay in providing samples or the dispute about in-groound gast tanks. Also the district manager has not stated in his email as "the given sample", the dm only asks about how the tests are done usually and what are th basic standards.

I agree with you on this. The tests haven't been done yet so they haven't caused delays yet in some sense. It should rather be worded as "Testing for chemicals in the soil will cause delays in the construction schedule".
