Not really, WMI was supposed to be open before the Euros if not before.
Whilst the the original plan 3 years ago was to have it ready for the football, it was realised a couple of years ago now that it would be unlikely to be ready as to do so would rush and cut corners. At the time the financing was not in place which could have caused a massive delay.

And they were well aware of the dangers of something coming up during commissioning a la Brandenburg or rushing the commissioning and ending up with a T5 like fiasco.

Hence they decided not to open for the Euros which may seem justified now bearing in mind the current state of their certification process. Therefore it was never declared as an airport to UEFA for EURO 2012 flights during their final evaluation of Polish airport facilities.

Latest news on some of the commissioning and testing of the terminal
