That is normal in a pioneering technology project. Boeing 787 is revolutionary in its design, and could have incompatibilities here and there due to numerous sciences and technologies used to develop them.

In the past, where sciences are not as well developed as now and technology could not assist us further, we never know those "small but important details," and proceed to the next step easily only to realise that disasters awaits. Sure, this guys knows their priority best on either to delay or push on into trouble.

On the notion at Airbus & Boeing. Well, what did Boeing do? They used the Airbus method, no? Sending Dreamlifters everywhere to bring the parts together to be assembled in final assembly line.
