No, neither. I'm saying that compared to my recollections of rocketry history as well as news about recent activity in the commercial space, a timespan of 14 years until the first validation launch seems long considering the challenges the deliverable would seem to pose. I can of course readily speculate about many reasons about why this is so: - They may be doing higher-quality work or proceeding more cautiously than other projects with similar goals. - The rocket may have unique traits or capabilities that justify the development time despite the payload capacity being nothing eyebrow-raising. - The definition of "start of development" used by the author of the Wikipedia statement may not match my expectation, i.e. there may have been a long market analysis and conception stage before engineers actually got to work. - The project may not have enjoyed a steady level of activity for all of those 14 years. - Funding may have been lower than for comparable projects. - There could have been political, legal or financial problems ailing the project. - I may simply be wrong and 14 years is not a long time at all for this kind of project. And so on. Basically, I'm hoping for someone who knows the actual answer to share their insight.
