For those complaining about how long things take, this is the timeline for a similar waterside Roma Stadium that Dan Meis is working on:

If the same timeline is applied to a new Everton stadium at Bramley Moore Dock, this is what it would look like:
September 2016 (when news first broke he was leading the design)
https://www.architectsjournal.co.uk...-work-on-new-everton-stadium/10011980.article
Veteran stadium architect, Dan Meis, brought on to lead design efforts
Then based on that:
December 2016
Initial Bramley Moore Dock Stadium and Master Site designs completed
August 2017
Bramley Moore Dock Stadium team presents project vision and scope to Mayor Joe Anderson
November 2017
Public unveiling of the stadium model at Bramley Moore Dock Stadium
July 2018
LCC approves Bramley Moore Dock Stadium as a project of public interest for the City of Liverpool and gives planning permission
November 2018
Geotechnical analysis begins on-site
January 2019
Initial site dossier submission to Liverpool City Council
November 2019
Bramley Moore Dock Stadium technical designs submitted to LCC
December 2019
Mastersite Supplementary technical dossier submitted to LCC
Mid 2020
Bramley Moore Dock Stadium to break ground
Late 2022
Bramley Moore Dock Stadium to be substantially completed
August 2023
Bramley Moore Dock Stadium and surrounding facilities to open
Now obviously this is purely based on the timings planned for the Roma Stadium and how long it is taking them to do things, and the Bramley Moore Dock site may be more and less complicated than the Roma one. The plus is that the actual breaking of ground and building the stadium only takes 2 years. The negative is that it is clearly a long process and we could be looking at 6 and 1/2 years before we actually move into a new stadium. Mayor Anderson said following his July 2016 meeting with Moshiri said we could be in the new stadium in 5 years, which would be August 2021, 2 years ahead of the timeline for how long it is taking Roma to build theirs.

Interesting mate, although I do think the pre-build stages will be quicker than your timeline is suggesting. I'd think season 2021/22 is very possible.
