It's not a sign of the pending downfall of our civilization. The 787 project tried some new things and suffered some mismanagement. It uses more premade components (like dashboards and controls and seats and frames) than other Boeing aircraft, so Boeing (an engineering company) is having to solve logistical problems. Being a long-term Washington resident, I've grown up hearing about Boeing's problems. In the past, though, they were supply/demand issues, like airline order demand, union negotiations, massive layoffs, etc.
