A380 Engine Change

Perhaps someone here could put me right - I am told that an engine change on the A380 would take around 12-15 hours but is then followed by 3 days or so for the nacelle fixing to 'cure' - can this be true?

Singapore Airlines A380's engine failure no drama: Airbus

Quote:

Speaking in Paris, Louis Gallois, chief executive of Airbus manufacturer EADS: "This airplane would have been able to reach its destination with three engines out of four with no difficulty."

Quote:

Singapore Airlines said the A380 could have continued the flight on its three remaining engines.

So why did it turn back to Paris ? :confused:
