The report I heard today implied that there was an inspection (borescope, I assume) where they could determine if an engine had a suspect disc. If true, the delay will be days - not weeks or months - to inspect the engines prior to flight (and delivery).
Obviously if an engine is found to have a suspect disc it'll have to be replaced and shipped back to CFM to have the disc replaced...
