Just read in an article that Boeing is really sweating to deliver B787s. There are over 40+ Boeing 787s sitting in different hangers and can't be delivered because they lack a few parts that the suppliers are finding it hard to deliver them on time. Boeing really is paying for their aggressive out-sourcing rather than keeping them in-house.
