Rescheduling to a different project introduces another delay while we
wait for the new PI to prepare a schedule. One possibility is to have a
backup schedule ready to go. e.g a v131-style phase ref source survey
that runs 24h. The key file could be cropped to match the time range and
the frequency changed to whatever the original observation was going to
be. Not ideal, but quick to implement and useful.

Not me! Thanks!
