If a milestone is not met the next payment will be delayed. The delivery delay itself is not so much the problem but to cover for the planned capacity needed otherwise. Lease something else, switch fleets, delay fleet retirements, big overhauls and such. The delivery stop will affect production sooner than later and that trickles down through the supply chain. That might become some big issue and this seems to be the reason why they kept the rate up until now.
