Basically, just the usual "technical difficulties". A huge number of things can come up in the process of pulling together any program, and, well, they hit one. It happens.

It should only be delayed by a week, they estimated - so roughly the 5th of next month is the intended target right now.

ok, i can deal with that. granted im being lazy about my animus.

Q18: Are there any plans to make it easier for us to obtain the sands/oil of time?

A18: You will be able obtain them in the new Crystal Tower dungeon in patch 2.3. Instead of increasing the drop rate, we want to increase the location of where the item can be obtained from.

Fantastic. That's one way to keep CT 2 relevant for awhile.

Totally addressed my issue with Coil being the only place to obtain 110. I'm happy now. Maybe, just Maybe and unmarked Keystone too? Have that be a rare drop from the end boss? Right now weapon progression is worse off than armor progression due to the bottle-neck that is Atma/Animus.

Any info if we can use Soldiery for the next part of Novus? Did they say when 2.28 is? I hope next week.

Q21: What kind of rewards will we be able to obtain through “The Hunt?”

A21: You will be able to trade-in allied marks (points obtained by defeating marks) for items such as armor that is currently traded for Mythology tomestones, unique items that can only be obtained from this content, and alexandrites which is required for upgrading your Animus weapon into a Novus weapon.

Q23: Can you tell us more about the content “The Hunt?”

A23: The content will consist of players earning allied marks by defeating specified monsters called “marks.”

There will be different ranks of marks. The higher the rank, the more allied marks you will obtain.

While there’s no time limit for these marks, there will be weekly (via Grand Company) and daily marks which you can defeat to obtain bonus allied marks.
