Except they weren't really "built" in 9 months. Höegh Esperanza (the floating terminal), was commissioned in 2018.

In reality, oversimplifying wildly, it took 9 months to negotiate the contract and "plug" this preexisting terminal into the German gas network.
However, it's still impressive that our societies have tools like that available to handle unforeseen situations and crisis.
