Not to take away credit from Greg Robinson (or other many people involved in the project management), but to say that he fixed it as if a miracle happened is exaggerating.
The project had to be delayed, cost-overrun, de-scoped in some small areas, to get it onto some schedule that could then be followed and predictable. If you cut enough things you can "rescue" a project back onto schedule.
It's not like he (or anyone else) turned back time and gave us a miracle. It's an interesting "people story" though.

Of course he shouldn't get 100% of the credit, or perhaps even a majority of the credit, but it's clear from the article that the project was languishing when he took the job, and he quickly made several improvements to get it back on track.

On more than one occasion I either been a consultant or worked with consultants who pretty much repeated what the internal experts were saying but management didn't trust their own people probably because the project was in trouble.
