In a press release words and context are very important. I dont think it is going too far to parse this release carefully. As others point out, "finally" can mean different things to different people (and it is intended to do just that), and the 'prototype' engine as 'assembled' is important also. I think they (Elio) understand there is some , shall we say, anxiousness, over the engine development, and this release is primarily designed to alleviate some of that.
If you are the pessimistic type, you could see it as a stall, if overly optimistic, as engine progress, but taken at face value, it is simply a status PR report.
