I have limited knowledge about this, but it seems very odd. It seems to me the covering is normally used in colder months to provide protection and allow temperature sensitive work to continue.

So, I would have expected to see it come off when it warmed up or that work was done. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to be a bad sign to me that work has ground to a halt here

To my understanding, the envelope is stucco so it does rain during summertime constructions. If you leave wet stucco exposed to more wet/moist conditions, where does that moisture seep to?

Yes, but wouldn't the stucco eventually dry and this not be a problem? So then the covering would be removed. If this is the case it sounds like the stucco work that probably should have been done 6 months ago or more is progressing slowly or not at all.
 
leaving the stucco covered on a project with so much stucco and such a long time frame makes sense as to not have UV discoloring prior to the project being complete

in a smaller project you'd leave it wide open.

also they had the tarps over winter. summer would have to replace with the green mesh which is exxtra work

Well if I go by the comments of one of the scaffolders that worked on the project, it has more to do with the owner cheaping out and taking as long as it takes, and then some.

I'm skeptical of that comment from the scaffolder. Extending the construction length of a building is more expensive for an owner in many ways beyond just construction itself

Didn't wanna post a photo because there's others who have more 'ownership' of posting for this project (and have better cameras for it lol), but the tarps on the East side of the building are coming off. about /12 the tower was exposed on that side as of Saturday evening.

Did the exposed part you saw make you cry?

I get ya, basically though the statement made sense. If the owner had a choice of getting a bunch of scaffolders and get it all down in a week's time, or hire only a couple scaffolders and get it down much slower and possibly save a few bucks, the owner would prefer option 2.

Also the owner is in no rush, considering he had stated he may freeze further construction on this site because the city wouldn't grant him the expansion, added floors, to the first part of his project.
