Did the opening date change?

As of

Illustration: Luís de Camões Airport Observatory (original work). Not to scale; not the airport design.

Yes. In May 2024 the Government said the first runway should be built by 2030 and the second by 2031. The July 2026 schedule moved construction to 2029–2033 and opening to ‘from 2035’. The observatory records both; a revised target is a change, not by itself proof of failure.
