                    (B) changes in circumstances or assumptions;
            (3) cannot be completed by the completion date scheduled in 
        the agreement, but can be accomplished within a reasonable time 
        after such date by the use of a more efficient or more cost-
        effective technology than the technology that has been used;
            (4) cannot be completed by the completion date scheduled in
