Given VM never disclose any usefully detailed elaboration then idle speculation is all you're likely to get. Minor exceptions being a few (ex)staff members may be able to "hint-off-record" perhaps from infor derived from their previous sources?
Unless it's an extensive new build I'd have thought it's highly improbable for a new chassis (and somewhat ludicrous anticipating 2) when tripling port density by replacing some/all existing lower density linecards would more than suffice. If that F00 has been open since midyear then perhaps end Oct target or pre-Xmas is still a feasable/realistic expectation.
However "uncombining" upstream and re-segmenting may involve much more work on RF side, perhaps replacing some line actives,blowing fibre deeper, upgrading some street cabs even….
Could involve therefore some planning permission and possibly explains why the targets slip as until any physical infrastructure is sorted/tested then CMTS upgrade would I think likely have to slip accordingly.
