Purely conjecture, but I wonder if the unplanned takeover of M&I drained IT resources away from the Diners Club conversion. BMO knew up front that Citi was going to service these accounts for two years, and I can easily see how work on the Diners' infrastructure could have been repeatedly deferred because there was "plenty of time".
