I doubt the deadline has much to do with being used and more to do with trying to force action out of Rossi. The UniBO will suffer the loss of funding if Rossi doesn't carry out the contract. Under maryyugo's view of the world it will be because Rossi has nothing real to provide the UniBO to test. However, it may also mean he has an American substitute for his reasech needs and doesn't need them anymore.
My prediction is he let's it lapse for either of the above reasons. I guess they don't want to be used indefinitely and for free as an excuse for Rossi's failure to get proper testing.
