I'd actually see that as a positive thing; too much money is wasted on the sunk cost fallacy, and having the guts to cancel a project if it goes too far over time / budget is rare enough.
I would argue that it is impossible to form any conclusions here without knowing what the exact specific situation is, but of course what you described is plausible.

What if somebody wishes to cancel after hearing the 3 weeks as opposed to 2 weeks?
For e.g. if they're travelling, etc. Could result in loss of revenue as well.
