There are disagreements over whether the delays stemmed entirely from the company’s shortcomings or whether they were due to extra features that Ankara demanded be installed on the aircraft, officials said.

The aircraft is esentially identical to the Australian Wedgetail that was also years late. So of course the delay s were from the company's shortcomings. Boeing paid $100 million in penalties to the Australian government.

Prolonging the negotiations after delivery is part and parcel of the transaction to prolong the fun.

To make points during negotiations is the purpose. Receipt of the actual goods is secondary
