Due to meticulous nature of the work, the timeline for the edition's completion has constantly been delayed. Before the release of the first fascicle in 2002, one of the original editors, Richard D. Weis, expressed optimistically that the project would be completed by 2010.[3] As recently as June 2023, Rolf Schäfer, another of the BHQ editors, expressed that the present estimate for completion is approximately 2032. "At present our estimate for the completion of BHQ is by 2032 approximately."[b][_citation needed_]
