This happens all the time with large investments in $X that make for impressive sounding press releases. If you (can) dig into the details, invariably a lot of the money is in previously committed/spent allocations in a whole bunch of different buckets (or, per bombcar's sibling comment, money that may never be spent at all).
I think the question is "have they done anything" or do they just keep promising to do something someday?
