why is construction at Elm and Chester streets taking so long?

Does anyone know why it is taking so long to repair the exterior of the building at Elm and Chester streets? The scaffolding has been up since last November, causing the MBTA to move the bus stop down to in front of Anna's Tacqueria. The Dunkin Donuts is probably losing some business from people who can't tell whether it's actually open, or who just prefer not to walk under a whole city block of scaffolding.

Someone posted a few weeks back about Zoe's reopening in the near future. According to my coworker, who has actually spoken to Zoe, the near future appears to be tomorrow. Their website confirms the date: http://www.zoeschinese.com
