The roadways around the Conrac are very far behind (why is Aviation Blvd only open to one-way traffic), but the blame for that seems to squarely be on the LA Bureau of Engineering, not the people mover builder, Conrac builder, or LAWA.

LAWA is to blame for some of the delays, however. The people mover cars should've started moving on portions of the guideway months ago, but haven't because of the delays from LAWA IT that I mentioned earlier in the thread.
At least 3 APM train cars had been assembled and already delivered as of 2022.
