What you are suggesting could easily have delayed both projects even further (Brooks' law).
CalDAV was a much smaller project involving an external team, and canceling that project would not have helped the 2FA project along at all while also making everyone who was waiting for calendaring wait even longer.
As simple as 2FA may seem on the surface, Runbox consists of a number of integrated (and due to Runbox' long history, a few legacy) services that first needed to be modified to authenticate through a central authentication service that we built from scratch.
It's been our most ambitious development project yet, involving 4-5 experienced programmers and sysadmins who together have built a system that is secure, robust, and scalable and that we're quite proud of.
It's been a significant investment for Runbox and we are eager to show it to everyone.
