Boeing Moving HQ to Washington D.C.

[theFirstDave]

From the NPR story:

The FAA took nearly two years — far longer than Boeing expected — to approve design changes and allow the plane back in the air.

Shouldn't that be "Boeing took over two years to admit, identify, check, test, verify and get certification of the design changes that should been done before the MAX was placed in service."

Or have I strayed off topic?
