The Chuo is Tokyo-Nagoya in 2027 and Tokyo-Osaka in 2045.
Could they make it earlier? Of course yes, but the amazing thing about Chuo Shinkansen is that it's 100% private (JR Central) money. The government did offer no-string-attached money to make it to Nagoya in time for 2020 Olympic and Osaka in 2025 [Expo] (this was back in '13), but JR Central declined. Japan population is declining so I guess nobody want to invest too much in case the return isn't as expected.
