Quote from Damien:
Because the government have to plan alternative arrangements for the regulations, legal mechanisms and other controls. The transition period has come about because of the sheer scale of the task. There is something like 40 of them and also don't want to have a period where businesses can't sell into the EU because of paperwork hassle. It's more than just dealing with the tariffs for now and sorting it later.

But a "transition period" where nothing really changes, just kicks the can down the road and when the end of such a period looms we'll get the same old excuses and doom mongering about "cliff edges" and not being ready. A definite chop date in March 2019 would concentrate minds and stop the shilly-shallying.
Yes, there's a lot to be done and people need to get their fingers out, burn the midnight oil if needed, employ more staff and actually DO something.
