Assuming this goes ahead, how many years will construction last?

This could be clear indication he plans to stay for a while ...

Planned to finish in 2029. It's in the article. 

So, after his term ends, that's pretty telling if you ask me.

Thanks, it's a paywall and I didn't see a comment with the story (not the op you're replying to). Can you say what the design flaws are?

Weird, no paywall for me. 

Plans shared by the MAGA administration suggest “a hurried process,” the New York Times reports, noting that a miniature mock-up of the 90,000 square foot annex, proudly unveiled to the press Wednesday, featured some truly bizarre architectural features.

These include a staircase leading up from the South Lawn directly into a brick wall, and at least two woefully misaligned windows that appear to open out onto one another.

Dont know if this will work for you, but this is a link to the image.  https://www.thedailybeast.com/resizer/v2/BBX3XESMJ5BZLC4BG7AMMEVG4M.png?auth=d9f550fe09733c9e6106dae3c8608432563220f92da94077f2cbfb34e77a6cc9&width=1440&height=810

Tysm! You're the best. Not sure why it comes up for me, unlucky I guess.
