Former CEO Piyasvasti Amranand is one of the five administrators so there is some hope.
He knew what the problems were and was making progress but he must have trod on someone's toes so was fired.

while he was probably the only feasible CEO during the last 25 years and made some progress and was sacked by the Thaksin government before he could achieve much, he is no superman.

Always. The more a project is delayed, the more likely it is that there will be personnel changes that will necessitate different palms to be grea....,
