I also thought it was a bit strange that when the Civ3 site goes up in the new year, we will have more info on Civ3 than Dinosaur's.
My understanding was that they were hoping to get Dinosaur's finished before Xmas, leaving Civ3 to be completed sometime next year.
Are we to guess there's been a few hitches?

I bet for some pressure from Civ 3 publisher.
Civ 3 will (almost granted) a "cash cow", so any late is a very expensive one.
Dino was the favourite pet of Sid, but fan reactions where almost icing and the Disney movie "Dinosaurus" could be supposed to make this the wrong moment to play with the Dino concept.
Yes, lot of indirect advertising, but many unwanted crossing reference, now pre defined players' expectation about graphics, kind of plot, etc., are bad for proper market brand recognition.
Do you imagine Sid blue in the face while someone is asking him: did you make Sid Meiers' Dinosaurus? Ah, yes, that Disney game franchise from the cartoon movie: nice but not really like the original on the large screen.
