2 MW mine substation: how to lock transformer and genset lead times?

A new 2 MW plant at the mine: transformer 22 weeks, gensets 16, civils 20.
The plan is nine months to power; the schedule now runs close to ten.
How can we compress it, or supply power temporarily?

The transformer is the long pole; two 1 MVA units in parallel can arrive in about 12 weeks.

Renting a 1.25 MW set as a bridge is common and costs less than standing idle.

Start civils and foundations early; waiting for equipment adds two more months.
