The original white iPhone took way, way longer to bring to market than they originally predicted. At one point people were speculating that it might never happen. The problem was in getting the various plastic and glass pieces to look fully white and the same tone. Steve Jobs announced that Facetime would be open source and never happened, apparently because he didn't check with any engineers or lawyers before making the announcement.
