it's indeed took china longer than expected to develop ws-10A, though ws-10A now finally appears running stablely on J11B.
quite many chinese ppl already got frustrated with ws-10A's slow progress. however, if china took the same approach like what drdo did by announcing 'deadline' agian and again to the public, more chinese ppl will overwhelmingly curse the drdo counterpart in china to hell.
Difference is in accountability : DRDO's books are audited by the Indian CAG and its projects answerable to Parliament and the Government is finally accountable for DRDO and of course Governments in India get booted out of power. Therefore they have to be transparent. The PLA is a state within a state and is not accountable to the Chinese people as is the CCP.
