A few issues here.
1) They had a big leg up because they did much of the pre-production and writing ahead of time, allowing them to go right into development almost immediately.
2) The man-hours they can put into this is directly determined by their budget, and they've planned the game for this. It was initially a 12-month cycle, they raised a little more and now it's 14 months, but it's not going over that unless they get more money.
3) 15 hour days and seven day weeks are fairly typical in the game industry during late stages of development.
Remember, they made Overseer in under a year, and they didn't have a script, finished engine, or any of the amazing tools they have access to now. This has shaved a lot of time off the top, and now it's largely a matter of building all the assets and filming the content.

I know it's silly, but I'd be disappointed if it lapsed into 2014 just because 2013 is the Year of Adventure. But I'm not really worried about delays because I know they don't have the money for them. A more likely scenario would be that things would get cut in order to keep their schedule.
hee hee. Although, I'm pretty sure I got some gray hairs during the Kickstarter.
