FCC rules seem fairly hardline, and they absolutely can be, but in general they are not. Buildout rules generally are given on all licenses (I work with licenses for 2.5ghz spectrum) and if you fail to build out on the timeline you asked for initially, you can usually get the FCC to reissue a license. The only time when it is actually a threat is if there are other interests actively looking and applying to use the same spectrum jurisdiction who are capable of successfully building out before you.
