(a) If any state or local agency has failed or is reasonably likely to fail to comply with a project decision schedule, the team leader may bring an enforcement action in the appropriate chancery court.
(b) In any action brought under this section, if the court determines that any state or local agency has failed or is reasonably likely to fail to comply with a project decision schedule, the court shall order the agency to act in accordance with the existing schedule where such action would be practical and would not deny any person due process of law.
(c) If the court determines that the agency has failed or is reasonably likely to fail to comply with a project decision schedule but that action in accordance with the project decision schedule would clearly be impracticable or would deny any person due process of law, the court shall instruct the team to revise the project decision schedule to require the agency to complete consideration of the applicant's request as soon as practicable, consistent with due process of law. Immediately upon receipt from the team of a certified copy of the revised project decision schedule, the court shall issue an order directing the agency to comply with such schedule.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law including any other provision of this chapter, any action brought under this section shall be assigned for hearing and completed at the earliest possible date, shall, to the greatest extent practicable, take precedence over all other matters pending on the docket of the court at the time, and shall be expedited in every way by such court.
