They've been planning a new wind tunnel for quite some time now afaik but it just takes ages.
And over at AMR, in the same time Stroll SR. buys a stake in AMR, builds a completely new factory and a new state of the art wind tunnel which is now operational (since january). He gets things done with permits, local politics, money/sponsors etc.
I guess there's a reason why he became so rich. He knows how to run a business. He does things in half the time.

By permits it is planning permission that's needed over here and naturally if you're big enough then things do get speeded up depending on the location with favours exchanged together with the other things.
That new building, the AMR Tech Campus being at the Silverstone circuit in the country probably had the permission fast tracked through by West Northants Council which covers a large area of land while RBR hq, being within the confines of a town has Milton Keynes council to deal with which can take much longer.
