I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that development ran for eight months.

They didn't leave out the HK factory or the Droid Planet "for no reason", either - there was no time to implement all the stuff they had already made, unless I'm badly misinformed. To some degree it was Obsidian's fault, sure, they can't do technical work to save their souls, but I don't think lack of content can be laid at their feet.

Actually the entire code of the droid planet was completed and shipped with every copy of KOTOR 2, even the X-Box version had that part in the code. The people behind the Restoration Project found out about it because of the X-Box versions. They just re-used the data for the project.

What they did was they made it into junk data of the code, and took it out of the rest of the game. There never was an official reason for this, but it was hinted that this happened because of lack of complete story connecting both the Droid Factory planet and HK-47. In some HK-47 dialog choices you can see some of that connexion, probably something that was overlooked by Obsidian. 

I believe you're thinking of the HK factory part of the code, surely? Parts of the droid planet are there andn weirdly complete, yes, but huge choking swaths of it appear to have never existed, with placeholders being used when the data was reconstructed, like a shark serving as the AI core of the entire planet.

I'll grant that HK-47's dialogue hints at the droid factory, and most of the code for that was very much intact and rarin' to go if they had been willing ot sit down and implement it and fix bugs, but the droid planet never really existed unless I am gravely misinformed.
