I suspect that he's trying to get it finished before he leaves office, which if it wasn't, it would be a big embarrassment for him, and besides, perhaps his diminishing influence and the likelihood that he's going to lose Congress in November, to say nothing of potential cost overruns, that his 'donors' are starting to have second thoughts about what it is that their money is actually buying, so he's now going to need the taxpayers to foot the bill.
