As everybody else says, there's a delay because there is one, but a last-minute engineering change seems highly unlikely, unless we're talking about veeery small suspension tuning stuff, that would likely have been planned for a long time.
And where did you hear that? On here? From some site speculating? There has not been one single official word from Toyota on the subject. Just a bunch of people guessing at what is going on. Many of these guesses seem to involve long convoluted and slightly bizarre theories on why it is "delayed" when the supposed leaked slide that everybody trusted so much before clearly shows a release in SUMMER of 21. It is not yet summer no matter how nice it is out. By using the vague date of "summer" they still have five months left where they can release it and still be within their plan. Just because Subaru released the BRZ now doesn't mean that was ever Toyota's schedule.
