It looks sort of like they have several teams working on various projects. Where some of their teams suck balls & others don't.
Heck, in this particular comparison it's more like they're outsourcing projects to external contractors that just don't come through. Otherwise it still makes no sense.
But let's face it ... the game has a JPN release and maybe gets some hype behind it. People, even us in the West, see the game pop up in the DlSite feed and perhaps even make TL Request threads, etc.
But now, after 1,5 years ... who even remembers the game exists anymore? How many have just gone and MTooled it?
Out of mind, out of heart ya know.
Sure, we'll get a reminder that it exists again when Kagura posts their release, but still. A TL project, professional & full-time ... really shouldn't take THAT long.
Say it takes 1000 hrs to TL a somewhat large game (which is likely giving them waaaaay too much leeway), but whatever ... around 1K hours ... that's 2 people working for about 3 months @40H/week.
Especially if the uncensored materials are delivered by the original author and not some seperate artist at Kagura, which could be a bottleneck if let's say they only have one or 2 of those guys.

Alternatively, it could also be that he's just in the back of the queue and didn't question Kagura as to when they would even start translating it.
In that case, maybe they haven't even lifted a finger for that game yet.
Though that's something he shouldn't neglect to negotiate when signing any contract like this.
