The government then had pointed to the impact of COVID-19 on global supply chains as the reason for the revised timeline. With the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) ERP network now anticipated to be rolled out only from the second half of 2023, it would mean a delay of almost two years before implementation works–spanning 18 months–would be completed....
