Nothing in government happens overnight - However, the process to start that dismantling ought to be the first order of business on Jan.21, even if it isn't fully completed until a few months later.

Totally. Election promises are always oversold by every candidate, but I think the intention is to get the ball rolling on day 1, but realistically, change won't be overnight.
Keep in mind too that it is completely understandable to change plans after an election. The president is supposed to represent and fight for all Americans, regardless of whether they voted for him or not. The truth of the matter is that almost 75 million people voted for Trump, including many in the states that are directly affected by the change. It's the curse of a centrist to have find the middle ground and that isn't always known until after the election.
Based on the election results, Biden has no mandate to go in like a dictator and start ham fisting policy.
