But he said it's a matter of days not weeks not months.To be fair, plural literally just means more than one.
Bluecat was pretty on the nose here.
So if it takes 10 weeks, that's still weeks.
Which, if you're being a hardass means that anything over 7 days is going over his own deadline.
Even if you were super lenient and relaxed about it(because why wouldn't you be after one and a half years of missed deadlines), anything over two weeks is breaking your word.
