The Constructural Rough Edge
(or Achilles Heel)
of the stadium jammed along South Capitol Street
within that Spring 2008 deadline

Note that the construction's consumption of its emergency contingency fund so far.

Note the rainy season... and the soil permeability ... and that concrete curing is a science ... and that moisture is a factor ...

Note that deadline... the start of the 2008 baseball season in early April...

Will this all conspire in some way or another to produce a compromised product?

If so, it sends a message that satisfying the dream of some well-connected person who may perhaps not live past 2008 is more important than a long life product that would endure.
