Verant = multi-million dollar enterprise with full-time (read: paid) teams of project managers, developers, customer-support (lol), testers, artists, database admins, actors, engineers and system administrators and eventually the financial backing of an online juggernaut hell bent on taking over the MMO landscape. Server hardware is brand-new, network is tier-1 in redundant datacenters and supported by 24/7 staff. Changes are planned months in advance and executed after careful testing.

Project 1999 = a small group of talented guys with (mostly) normal lives and changing priorities. Nobody earns a dime for their efforts. Servers are either refurbished or cobbled together out of donated parts & funds. There's nooooo freaking way that the monthly donations get anywhere near to covering the cost of upkeep & hosting. Blahblahblah... P1999 is obviously a smaller enterprise.

For fuck's sake... these guys are basically putting in a 2nd full time job as a 'hobby' so 1500 strangers can enjoy a bit of nostalgia. And you have the nerve to come and 'inquire' about a 'delay' in historical accuracy? Good God man.
