This fucker is being developed since 2011, and got a NASAs contract in 2016, and still havent been launched yet, how can a cargo spaceship take so long?

You're not too far off. Something fishy was definitely going on
>On 16 September 2014, NASA did not select the Dream Chaser for the next phase of the Commercial Crew Program. This occurred despite previous Commercial Crew Development awards in every phase since 2009, due to lack of maturity
>On 26 September, Sierra Nevada filed a protest to the US Government Accountability Office (GAO)
> Ralph White, the GAO's managing associate counsel, announced that NASA "recognized Boeing's higher price but also considered Boeing's proposal to be the strongest of all three proposals in terms of technical approach, management approach and past performance, and to offer the crew transportation system with most utility and highest value to the government."
