"This, however, is only a plan - not a promise - that a particular update will be released in a particular way or at a particular time. To get you the highest quality updates as quickly as possible, we usually keep on tweaking and testing right up until the moment before release, so sometimes things change or take a bit longer than expected. We aren't afraid to change our plan if necessary, as we will never launch an update before it is ready."

Not sure why a planned release date should be treated any differently. I for one (like any sane person) am glad Jagex has delayed the release of the loyalty programme. It is much better to wait a day or two for a product that actually works, than to have a half-assed early release full of all sorts of issues.
