What's the status of the new Jebel Ali airport? Has that been put on hold for the time being?

Last I checked the first runway was complete and I they have started cargo operations. But they did push back the opening of the passenger terminal by at least a year. I think it's only after concourse 3 opens and EK starts overflowing from there, that they'll do something about the new airport.
I really don't understand their expensive strategy of T3 being temporary for EK and them eventually moving to the new airport. I say temporary because the rate at which EK is growing, it won't take 8 years to fill up the new concourse.
