I don't think they were ever able to get on it; almost certainly the big contributor to the massive cost increases and delays in 2017 and 2019 was the geological challenges of the DT tunnel. Even after Alberta finally granted permission to proceed in 2021, it still took 2 years for the Green Line to pick a constructor and didn't even reach the 60% design stage until the summer of 2024.
The only way the Green Line could have proceeded earlier was to cancel the entire tunnel in 2019-2020; not just the northern section.
