Unable to assign projects to factories.

So I picked up this game recently and really like it (I am worried I won't see daylight again at this rate), but I am running into an issue when I make new car designs I will be unable to sign off on them, and when I try to assign them to a factory it will state something along the lines of "This factory is already assigned to this project" while nothing is being produced.

This proved especially annoying when I created a huge factory in preparation of an affordable hatchback I was developing, just to finish and find that I was unable to actually build it in that factory or any other factory no matter what I tried, meaning that I ate a almost 1 billion dollar bill for nothing in return.

If you create factories outside of a project (from the campaign hub) then they can first be assigned to project when they finished building. On the other hand if you make a new factory as part of a project, you should run into no issues there. Also, factories currently producing the same or another model are always up for grabs.

How long does a factory take to build, because I created it well in advance of the project ending, and it still wasn't ready by the time it was finished.

The UI currently doesn't give proper feedback about that (or at least about how much time is left) ;( which is a big problem.
The build times are (if the ones in my spreadsheet correspond with the actual times in game):

[Size] - [Months of build time]
Tiny - 6
Small 1 - 12
Small 2 - 14
Small 3 - 17
Medium 1 24
Medium 2 - 27
Medium 3 - 34
Large 1 - 48
Large 2 - 54
Large 3 - 68
Huge - 78

Thanks for the explanation, and I do have to say besides some lack of UI feedback and bugs (which I think a pretty forgivable given that this is a early access game), you guys are doing some great work with this game.
