Any plausible ideas as to why it's taking so long?

I'm sure it will be soon.

Because it never even existed? Perhaps EFC have been taking us for a ride all this time, and will now jump out and say "Hey, guess what? We were never going to Kirkby, it was all a big joke."

Maybe not?
 
From the government's perspective it's still on time. The local media have said it was due in summer, during conference weeks etc. Government have said report would be ready in the summer and will be passed on to Secretary of State to make an informed decision. Hazel Blears resigned and the MPs took a holiday. A letter was sent out saying the target date is November 27th.
 

Voles finally moved on!

A COLONY of water voles standing in the way of Everton FC’s proposed new stadium are all gone.

Andrew Young, of Arcadis UK, the contractors tasked with moving the creatures out of Kirkby Brook, said works were completed successfully and all voles are now in their new habitats.

Water voles are protected by law and Tesco faced a race against the clock to move them before October 31 when the rodents began to hibernate.

It is illegal to move a sleeping water vole and so plans to reconfigure the brook faced months of delays if ecologists failed to move them on.

Peter Lancashire, the lead ecologist, will make regular visits to the brook to make sure no voles return.

Everton’s plans remain in the hands of the Secretary of State with the final decision being made on or before November 27.

A spokesman for the voles said, "Meh....It's not over yet, we'll be back"

Lol. That would be typical Everton, finally pass government investigation to be set back another year by a family of voles!!
