There seem to be many problems and delays in many projects currently being build in Dubai. There are delays on the Palm Jumeirah for about a year, Time Place, Marina Diamond 2, The Light House and many more. Some projects are still only a plot with a sign board in one corner.

Could it be that Dubai Municipality realized that they wont be able to handle the increased number of people living in Dubai in the original time frame and therefore try to delay some of the projects?

Does anyone know anything about the free capacities of the water desalination plants, the power plants and so on?

Will new plants be finished in time to provide additional capacity?
