Almost certainly, simply because courts' diaries are already booked up until then.
In some of the cases that I'm involved in (not criminal cases), you can say to the court that you're ready for a three-day hearing. Fine, they say. Trial date set for 15 or whatever months away - it's the first slot that we can do for a case of your type.
I can't speak for what's happened between February and now, though - only those who know what's been going on in the investigation will know why it's taken so long to get to the current stage.
