On August 24, 2012, the Honolulu Supreme Court ruled that the State Historic Preservation Division violated their own rules when they allowed rail construction to begin without the city of Honolulu completing an archaeological survey of the entire route. This halted all construction of the project and city officials are now working 7 days a week to complete the archaeological survey work. However, it is expected that this will delay the project by eight to ten months with an estimated cost of $7 to $10 million per month. City attorneys appealed to Hawaii Supreme Court to reconsider their ruling, but the request has been denied and the decision upheld.
