The answer to your question is 'Never'. Primarily because it's a 'Gas' pipeline!
"Pakistan, Iran form joint team to cover all aspects of pipeline deal" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Just in time I would day. And whats the target date for oil to emerge from the Pipeline?
Hopefully "all aspects" include finding the money to build, hiring a contractor, and actually laying some pipe.
