People here who still believe L&P would outsource significant work of his project must have missed just about every comment L&P has made on the subject. The probability of this is close to zero.
BTW, Another update at the end of this year, perhaps again shortly before new year's eve, is not that unlikely. This would give him another 6 months for a 1/3 game day, which is apparently the new average development speed.
You have to think about it, L&P doesn't even manage to implement one game day per year. At this rate, it would take L&P decades for the last nearly 20 game days remaining to be completed. It would mean AWAM estimated completion sometime between 2041 and 2051.
