Can anyone tell me if this beautiful sculpture has been started yet?

From 'The Scotsmaan' March 2014

//But the nine-month construction programme on the Star of Caledonia is now not likely to get underway until next year, at the earliest, with the cost to the public purse having risen substantially.//

I did find this paragraph a bit odd, doesn't seem right somehow!

//it will be lit up at night-time to help raise awareness of the area’s status in being home the first “Dark Sky Park” in Europe.//
