The addition of 'earliest possible opportunity' could be interpreted in many ways. Though it clearly suggests with goodwill that is should be expedited and not continually delayed.

I still don't get why the board would have been opposed to the necessity to bring the project to fruition at the earliest opportunity.

What was the reason for that ? I can't recall their official response to the resolution.
My understanding was that there was a concern about loss of seats if the second platform was to be located in an existing stand. That's why this new platform is remote from other fans.
Any platform situated over 2m from the ground would also need servicing by a lift.
The idea of a second platform is simple but the execution of this can be complicated. ( Egress from the concert etc.)
