I suspect it may be more of a trained manpower problem rather than fiscal (cash flow) as they already have the infrastructure to support the Frigate as the ist has already been delivered.  (this is 2nd in class) These are really the only reasons for delaying delivery.  The LPD is much less sophisticated than the Frigates.

Every shipyard loves it when the customer changes anything in the original specification or timetable.  Any enforced delay by Thailand on the delivery dates will vastly increase the final costs.

Right, you can't just move the unfinished ship to the edge of the parking lot and start up again later.
