If you start moving the goal posts you risk a) escalating and uncontrolled costs, b) a never finished project/product, c) missing the market opportunity. Fundamentally, if this is, as you say, a working spec, then the announcement is in totality a waste of time. What is the point of announcing something 16-18 months ahead if in all likelihood it will be something different. They are playing a dangerous game. I suspect it will be as stated.
