The airport usually chooses September as the least impactful time of year for major work. The summer travel season is over, the spring and summer northwesterlies are calmer, and -hopefully- it's before the winter weather kicks in. I have seen it all go wrong though during these projects - and SFO operating on only one runway is, in a word, ugly. There are some things that even the FAA can't control.
