I am always a bit sceptical, hearing such things. Last year they told basically the same things. But after all it’s simple, you are able to make the car faster or not. This whole „laying foundation for 2025“ is just another Blabla to buy time.
If they are on the right path, this shouldn't be a problem. They may take a step back for a couple of races but should be back to the same level or better after that, if not immediately. McLaren had an immediate jump when the brought their new concept. This is all conditional on it being the right solution though.
Isn't that what they already told with the Budapest updates (before they wanted to attack with a new package in the autumn)? In fact they recognized for example that the boot out Imola floor, which was blamed for the poor balance and so on, made his comeback in the autumn races.
I am not so convinced that the current personal at the factory knows exactly what route to go.
