The contract was only signed towards the end of last year - most major software releases (unless they are fix patches) tend to be six monthly or yearly.

I find it hard to believe that any development work would have been undertaken before contracts were signed, and after contracts were signed, they would need to be specified, agreed, signed off, developed, unit tested, system tested, regression tested (probably a couple of cycles of those development/tests), beta tested, and then, and only then, released to the consumer.
