soseeera made a list of delays on 2ne1's album since 2012.
2012.05.21
"2NE1 will be releasing a new Korean album in mid-June....*2NE1′s exclusive producer Teddy has now completed at least 7 great songs (for the album)... It has not been finalized if the album that is set for release will be a full album or a mini-album."
2012.06.12
"2NE1 was originally set to put out an album within this month (June).*However while pouring their hearts and souls in to create an album with quality music, their album announcement date has been postponed.*Currently, 2NE1 is planning to make a Korean comeback with a new album in the middle week of July."*

"In addition, after the release of the first single*I Love You, the second single will be released three weeks later in a single-by-single release strategy as opposed to the entire album being released at once."
2012.07.26
"According to original plans, 2NE1 had intended to release their second single three weeks after the release of “I Love You"*back on July 5th. However, as their ‘New Evolution‘ tour will kick off in Seoul at the end of this week and follow with performances overseas in August and September, it was decided that the double promotions with the tour and music program performances in Korea may take too much toll on the girls. Thus, after an emergency meeting, YG Entertainment has announced that they will be scrapping the new single coming up, and instead focus on a new album release in October."*

Yang Hyunsuk stated “2NE1 originally planned to release a new album in October but with the world tour, it is very likely for the new release to be in November instead.”*He continued “2NE1 has a recording schedule for this month” and “You will probably get to see 2NE1’s unique new songs this November.”
2013.02.02
"YG style is one in which we try to hurry as much as possible, but never so in a way that we harm the completion level of a project to meet a set date… We want to make the albums being released in March, from G-Dragon, 2NE1, as well as Lee Hi, to be ones that fans will want to keep and cherish."

CL told Billboard about April plans
2013.02.19
"Actually I think there might have been a misinterpretation. 2NE1 is currently working on the album with the goal of releasing it in April in mind,” he said.*YG Entertainment’s representative concluded by saying: “Looking at it now, it’ll be a little difficult for 2NE1′s new album to be released in April exactly, but they are scheduled to comeback with a cool look in the first half of the year.... While we have decided on when (the comeback) should be, nothing is set in stone yet. Right now, it’s even still hard to tell if it will be a mini-album or a full album."
2013.06.18*
"2NE1 is planning to release the songs plus music videos*once a month until the end of this year...*In October, we are planning to showcase a mini-album or the official second album of 2NE1."
2014.02.13
"2NE1’s second full album will be released at 12 am on February 24th on online music sites.*The album will go on sale offline the following week."
