i contracted an expansion for my arena on the 24th. it said it would be completed in approximately 10 days. now today, the 27th, it says there is still 9 more days left. is this normal or is something buggy?

Don´t worry it happens more often than we expect but it´s normal. When you decide to expand your arena the date is only approximate.
Be patient, best regards.

That is not a bug.

In the sticky thread "Guide To BuzzerBeater + FAQ" (144856.15) it says:

“The arena page says it has had one day left until completion for three days now. Is this a bug?”
This is not a bug. When you expand your arena, it gives you an estimated time (for example 8 days). This does not mean that exactly 8 days later your arena will be built. It is an estimate, so it could be built after 6 days, or it could be built after 8 days exactly, or maybe the workers are a bit lazy and it takes 11 days to build. Generally, the estimate time tends to be on the optimistic side, so if it says 6 days to complete, it will probably take longer than that.

We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

I think I haven't heard of any case where the expansion went quicker than the estimation showed first...

I'd always expect it to be 33% longer, that should be fine.

I'm pretty lucky with expansion mine is usually always faster then the estimation.

My current expansion originally said 6 days, then immediately went to 4 days, then 3 days then 2 days. So it is much faster so far.

The Aussie construction workers must work faster lol. So far mine has been either on time or faster also. Or at least what I can remember as many times as I have upgraded.

Thats a fair expectation, but people shouldn't be surprised if it does go 100%-150% over if you're really unlucky
