Former President Barack Obama’s dream of having a landmark building named after him has been delayed once again.

Fox News reports a federal judge in Chicago announced Wednesday that he was delaying a trial date over a lawsuit seeking to halt construction of the Obama Presidential Center until December.

The move further shelves the project and potential hopes of breaking ground on the huge complex any time soon.

Two environmental groups have sued the proponents of the Obama center, arguing that its construction on public parkland is a violation of state law.

The city argues the center does not violate the law and the judge said the delay will allow lawyers on both sides to gather more information.
