That wording is taken from the compensation area of EC261. I don't think that's in the frame here since a diversion is almost certainly extraordinary circumstances. On the other hand, Right to Care certainly does appy. This doesn't go into time limited remedies, but does go into things like hotels and additional travel costs. Moreover had BA laid on coaches or taxis I doubt it would have been any faster than a passenger making their own booking arrangements.
