Shocking for anything government.
That said, in that time frame, we can assume a number of things.
The Avionics is from X
The airframe is from Y
The anti-radar surface is from Z
The engines are from P
Etc. It's probably a Franken plane. It may be something great, but to have that kind of accelerated development means that much of what is is made of comes from something else that is already available.
I would think the air frame is a new design.
All the rest likely the product of previous development.
That said, my understanding is that all systems besides the air frame are modular and can be swapped for more modern, feature-rich versions.
Common engines, hydraulics and electrical bus are DESIRABLE features.

Perhaps, but not necessarily. The rapid pace of development of the new fighter was due to having a digital flyoff between competing designs, with CADM software then filling in the details before any metal was cut or laser printed. These technologies have been in development for decades now, with their integration marking a new phase in industrial engineering. The result is that most of the subsystems in a production version of the fighter can be made to order, not borrowed and kludged together.
Integration will be a bitch.
