It has been more than nine years since the Rs 300-crore textile museum project was proposed and the work on the site is moving at a snail's space. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, which received the proposed tender document from JJ College of Architecture on December 28, has not yet floated the tender for phase II of the project. The officials have attributed the delay to technical issues.

The Heritage Department officials said the tender hasn't been released yet because certain items mentioned in the proposed document are not included in BMC's rate schedule, which is used as a reference while quoting a cost in tenders.
