We are telling people 14 weeks (plus or minus) when you come and interview, as there is a possibility of a 2 week delay. We would rather overestimate in case there is a backup.

The way that training is handling backups is to delay you just before or after systems, but not once IPT's are started (unless it just can't be helped). Once you start the flight portion of training (IPT's - Sims - IOE), we try to not have any delays.
