I can gurantee there was no environmental impact assessment, comment period for local residents, nor mandatory safety training, rest periods, or other accommodations for the workers.
Whether or not these things are a net positive they do serve to slow things down dramatically.
Also without safety glass that place would have posed a massive safety hazard of falling glass shards.
There was kind of environmental review. At least there was environmental opposition to building it in the park and they added dome to the building so it could fit old elm trees completely inside the building and so trees were saved.
