3. The constant stream of changing liturgical texts is all part of the retranslation project started with the Roman Missal. Liturgy of the Hours and a new lectionary might be the last big one.
1. Six to eight months is probably overly optimistic, but I presume they'll have only one publisher for the four volume set, otherwise praying in common would be a nightmare if everyone has different page numbers. The Roman Missal has a lot of publishers that all had to be wrangled, so that probably complicated things.
2. I think they updated the NAB to update the lectionary, then Liturgiam Authenticam came out and had different expectations on e.g. Inclusive Language, which set off another round of revisions. The goal IIRC was to create a "liturgical bible" where the readings at the Liturgy can all be found in one book. Once the Lectionary gets published -- everyone will probably still hate the translation -- I think the translation will be set in stone for at least a while.
Though since all the liturgical books already re-published have scripture in them, I'm sure publishers will be more than happy to release a new edition. It's like University Text Books.
