From TFA, it says that the delays are due to the various agencies involved (Depts. of Interior, Commerce, Homeland Security, EPA, FERC) doing their reviews sequentially. Now they will do them concurrently. I imagine that if one agency needed information from another, they could ask for it (rather than waiting for it and n other intermediate review processes to end). Otherwise, it looks like the diligence involved should be the same.
