Granted EOD clearance but still can't begin the work because the batch they hired for the project got the clearance little late and they had to start the project with another batch

Hello,

I already granted my EOD clearance since 5th July 2017 and the project manager and vendor are saying that the batch they hired for the project got security clearance little late and they had to start the project with another batch. They are saying that they need to figure out what they can do with the another batch and remaining slots in the projects. I don’t know What they are trying to say I am little confused with this kind of reply. They are saying I cannot follow up if I am doing it they have right to reject me on the spot.

Can anyone tell me what to do or what are the chances to start work?
