Actually, I misread that. The budget is likely to be tomorrow., Weds 30th May.
That still leaves just over a week, maximum, for any objections to the licence to be raised.
Possibly 11th June.
But that's just a deadline within which the government to ask questions or request any more info.
It is NOT a deadline to approve or reject the Environmental Application itself.

BUSINESS BITES: Say 'Yes' to Bahamas oil drilling
http://m.tribune242.com/news/2018/may/23/business-bites-say-yes-bahamas-oil-drilling/
Our [ environmental ] activists often cite Deepwater Horizon as a template for what could result from drilling in The Bahamas. In fact, the alleged similarity to our five licenced drilling locations is virtually meaningless. They will reach sea floor at about 1500-foot depth, while drilling in the Gulf now is at the harder-to-control 10,000-foot level, operating in ambient pressure of 16,000 psi compared with 4,000 in our different undersea geology.
