This. The basic change to MCAS was simple and quick. Boeing had been working on it since Lion Air and it was probably ready in May or June.
Then changes with the FCC, based on the injected faults (when everyone went crazy over the use of a i286) that the FAA wanted, is taking a lot longer.
And from the WSJ article, looks like EASA is the one not liking the current iteration.
