I think this is a good point. See the comment from my post above (shown below)

I think this is inline with your comment that they spent too much money for not enough equipment. So to get the spares built will use money that might otherwise have been spent on ongoing development. If they operate with fewer spares over the duration of the season they can at least bring forward spares that sync up with development items. Meaning there may never be enough spares for start of season spec. But something like a spare tub (which would be valid all season) is needed.

I think that is much more dire than their reality. I expect them to do the full season. But until they improve operational efficiency they will likely spend more money per unit output than is needed.
Also... sorry for the long winded posts recently. I need to work to trim them down. This one included.
