We need between 12 and 40 parts to build goal appliances so I'd hope that there would be urgency to ensure that my neighbours receive my parts requests and that I receive theirs. If players are within the maximum stipulated by the game guidelines, there should be no days-long delay. I made no mention of how long neighbours take to fill requests as that is a separate topic. "Linger in the system" must be one of the causes of players' inability to complete goals. The company's hardware capacity must match the volume of traffic between players' devices and the game's servers.
