The existence of a report attached does it because it sets the time frame. In other words, this report was a couple years ago. And it sounds like there was already a contract to repair it. These are agencies who do budgets...”we’ll put it in next years budget” is common.

This wasn’t an agency budget issue, this was a privately owned condo building. “Agency budget” isn’t relevant
