You had me worried for a moment there.

The words 'temporary stop' seem to have been missed by you....

Yes - I too found the report and story unnecessarily alarmist.

Hmm, in my experience, temporary stops can turn into very long
'temporary' stops especially where the cause of the stop is funding
problems. Only the great Olympic con will never be stopped due to
funding problems. The self appointed great and good cannot be allowed
to be deprived of their jollies.

There are going to be ups and downs with any long term restoration project.
I still feel the word "terminated" is inappropriate in this case.
