: development/refinement in 2552, if that helps. Which means it would have
: been too little, too late. Lots of other skunkworks out there, however.

lol, I think who it helps and to what extent would depend on what they know about the development of military projects and what type of project.
But certainly in the area the likes of the Skunkworks are involved with, these days you can easily be talking decades.

Certainly if I was to present getting the F-22A Raptor into service as an example (which is still very much ongoing in terms of refinement, as is most military equipment).
First prototype flight in 1990, first production model flight in 1997, Initial Operational Capability in 2005 and finally fully operational in 2007.

So 17 years from prototype to combat readiness, which in Halo terms would be half the length of the Covenant War. :)
