The entire article is worth reading, but the following observation caught my eye …

"Due to high worldwide demand, getting the necessary equipment delivered to the site could be a major challenge for any project. Construction and installation schedules are often governed by the delivery of long-lead items."

“Estimated equipment/materials delivery matrix
Compressors (reciprocating)...70-92 weeks
Compressors (centrifugal)...70-84 weeks
ANSI pumps..................22-30 weeks
Reactors (ULSD/alloy)........18-24 months
Pressure vessels (alloys).....48-56 weeks
Shell & tube heat exchangers (alloys)...52-80 weeks”
