If the current status of the pool has it starting design work in Q3 of 2025, and it is expected to take 2.0 years, then construction will take 3.5 to 4.0 years, would that not equal to a 2031 opening window?

Piece by piece. You can’t knock it down any more, and be done with it over a month or two.
At the city’s own estimates, the eight months must add many millions of dollars to the budget.
