These things usually take way longer than 10 years. There are MSR projects (not your proposed small variant) happening since the sixties. China startet multiple new projects about 10 years ago and currently estimating it will take at least another 10 years. The EU suspects it will take 30 years from now.

I don't think it is unreasonable, they already passed some regulatory steps and want to build a fairly simple reactor.
