IDS vs EADS or IDS+EADS

Why they take so long to deliver planes?
A330 is already flying for more then 15 years and the B767 is even worse (more then 25)? Is that the KC version of the civilian platform is a complete different airplane? If that's so, why being worried about the facing off the civilian plane since the KC (military) version will have his own dedicated time line, maintenance cycle and spare parts (especially if we are dealing with big organizations like USAF, RAF, RAAF, US Navy)?

As I said it looks like nobody is really willing to solve problems but to show how good they are using words instead! WTF
