But how long a delay is there normally for publication to happen?
Just checked and for their recent study, the results write up was received by the publishing journal 5th July 2016, accepted (I assume this mean peer review process completed) 15th November 2016, finally published 22nd December 2016 - so an almost 6 month delay.
So if the same happens then we are looking at 2018 to see the results, and saying summer 2018 probably keeps our expectations reasonably in check.
