If they'd put it in sooner, the majority of players wouldn't have been half way through it yet.

Given that 3.2 is likely to drop around February/March most people won't be done with this stage by the time it goes live. People are gonna be spending the next couple of months grinding for a weapon that will be guaranteed to be outclassed by regular loot in the next patch. There's seriously no point in doing this relic because it's gonna take so long to finish for most players that they'll never actually get to use it!

What about actual content?

How does this answer why there wasn't more work put into it? they put no effort at all into making it.
