In my experience renos almost never finish when there suppose to. The reason is because you plan on doing certain thing but when you start tearing stuff apart more issues come up, scope of work is changed and everything has to be done in order. Framer waits on demo, electrical and plumber wait on framer, boarder waits on electrical and plumber, tile guy waits on boarders, floor guy is waiting for walls to be finishes and on and on.
My last two reno jobs, one a house and one a 10 CRU food court have both taken 3 times as long as originally planned because they keep adding work. Not sure if the same thing is going on with your grandparents but if they change the scope it does effect finish dates. Also there are things that sometimes pop up that aren't expected which have to be taken care of and again drag everything out.
As said above, sub contractors aren't usually paid as soon as the job is done they have to invoice at the end of the month and then wait up to 45 days and that's if things go well. I can post more tomorrow I'm heading to bed.
