Given the delay we can be pretty sure that it is not a case of some (or one or whatever) programmers being late on their work. If you miss a deadline by more than half a year that means one of two things:
1) Your boss is the one who told you to drop that project and do something more important instead
2) you have lost your job as no boss on earth would accept "Sorry boss, I know I am months overdue with my work but I still haven't even the faintest idea when (if ever) I will get it done"

I am 99.99999% sure that it's not the programmers' fault but was a management decision to push back the update. So it's not so much a case of getting in a few extra hours for the programmers but for their boss to assign enough % of their time to that update project so they can finally get it finished...
