It takes them half a year to prepare new armor models, and that is fairly standard in the modeling scene (not to mention SE's 3D artists are geniuses).

That doesn't mean redesigning areas takes exponentially longer, but as you could imagine it's a larger project that is usually only started when the company is preparing an expansion pack ahead of time. Usually the development starts as soon as the previous expansion has shipped (XIV's artists were working on new areas for an expansion before the management shakeup).

Needless to say they probably aren't working on said expansion at this point.
