This assumes a stable political environment that doesn't mess things up by our dear leader issuing executive orders that change the playing field during the process.
On the other hand, with government agencies gutted, the regulatory lead time would probably be less.
And then there's government aid. Will it be there? Probably not. Some massive ventures rely on a certain amount of public funding to make it happen. There has to be an acceptable ROI.
Ultimately, it's really all about how safe companies feel when it comes to committing huge sums of money to long term projects. Trump's presidency doesn't exactly engender warm fuzzies in these people.
