Will a US city complete a major public transit expansion before 2028?

Several major transit projects are nearing completion or in advanced construction. The Purple Line Extension in Los Angeles, the Second Avenue Subway Phase 2 in New York, and Sound Transit expansions in Seattle are all candidates. However, major transit projects consistently experience delays, and the "before 2028" deadline creates time pressure. The number of projects in the pipeline makes it statistically likely at least one completes on schedule, though any individual project's completion date is uncertain.
