Back in WWII transport ship builders would hold contests between each other and even their own shifts to see who could build and launch a ship faster.
They eventually ended up putting all the sub assemblies on the dock and then racing to assemble them in under 24 hours. ( don’t remember the final fastest time)
The whole time claiming they were building the whole ship in those few hours. But if you added all the time it took to build and deliver all the sub assemblies it took months.

Now Boeing is doing pretty much the same thing. Getting everything this far has taken years of work and expense.
But soon they will be able to claim it only took them a year to actually build the ship and it only cost a years worth of money.
Then they will use those number to try to claim they can do the same job as other private companies only better and for the same low price.

They are still using the most expensive manufacturing process on the planet for something that could be redesigned to be built cheaper.
As long as that good government money is coming in they are going to charge like a good government contractor. Out the wazoo.
