Not that anyone cares (which I hope united is not secretly banking on.)
Without any internal UA insight, I would say that management just grossly underestimated the equipment change efforts for all the upgrade. If you recall, WiFi was supposed to be on a significant number of aircraft by the end of 2012, but that of course has been pushed back officially as well. Changes, regardless of size take time... Hopefully.
