Jan 1: New Year's day
Jan 14: Maulidur Rasul (Prophet Muhamad's birthday)
Jan 14: Yam Tuan of Negeri Sembilan's birthday, which spills over into the 15th (I hear some of the work is done by a Negeri Sembilan contractor)
Jan 17th: Thaipusam
Jan 31st: Chinese new year
Feb 1st; Chinese new year
Feb 1st: Federal Territory day
On all these days, no work is done, and it's hard starting and stopping work rather than going continuously throughout. I predict a date closer to Mid Feb knowing how things work around here.
If the contractor is behind schedule, they will work through the public holidays. Nothing worries them more than Liquidated and Ascertained Damages, unless someone in MH is sleeping on his job.
