How is Klei going to conclude From Beyond in less than 3 months now?

Я уверен, что после FB будет ещё одна сюжетная линия, и все мы, фанаты игры, будем обсуждать её на этих форумах

I don't know about the others, but I wouldn't want another story arc. For me, it's just content that is spread out over several years.  I think it would be better to receive regular updates in parallel with the skill trees, which will be on absolutely any topic.

They use to push out an update once per month, now they’re pushing out an update once every 4 months or more,

The implicit claim here is that they are doing in 4 months what historically would have taken 1 month, which I find hard to believe from the dev streams and off-hours updates.

Even if we were to entertain that it is true to some degree (e.g. 2/1) where is the measurement of how much visible work was done along with consideration of invisible factors that might explain some discrepancies?

They won't. It's just not very realistic to finish it all up in that time span when they've still got a part 2 of the recent update cooking up.
But their estimate dates are also not a promise, so they should take their time as much as they need to finish up the whole arc. 

Hostile takeover was released early, and despite it not being entirely done by that point, it still isn't done with part 2 yet had it been released together with part 1, just to really sink in how much time this update has taken altogether.

They already had to delay the last skill tree update to make people happy with the implementation of Walter Wendy and Wortox. Overall their roadmap has hit a few bumps this year already (which is also delayed), but that's to also satisfy us, to give us a better product  that otherwise needed more attention, and klei gives it that.

Updates are only getting bigger and bigger in scope, cost and attention, and the conclusion of arcs are quite important to get right, to give us something satisfactory throughout the whole journey of it. And i just can't see em do that in under 2-3 months with the themes of rifts both being something that gives us difficult content that spans across the game's existing mechanics and a satisfying boss at the end of it and whatever else they want to throw in there cause they think it'll be cool. So please Klei, just take your time, at this point you might as well just throw this roadmap out of the window and go at a normal pace until it's done.

EDIT: Well this comment aged like milk.
