I doubt that shipping the replacement engine and pylon is on the critical path (yet).

While removal of what's left of the failed engine is essentially a standard maintenance task, dropping the pylon isn't, and then there's assessment and rectification of any collateral damage to the wing structure.

Only once that's done can the new engine and pylon be installed.
