Indeed. Let me pull some figures out of my arse to make things more clear. 
When next turn, MY 2117 we open the turn, the situation will be as follows:
- 20 of the 27 nutrients required to grow to size 3
- 16 of the 27 minerals required to finish the CP
- an annual energy production of "2"
If we keep the current worker setup this will happen:
MY 2118:
->21/27 minerals, CP incomplete
->24/27 nutrients, base size 2
->2 energy from Logic Loop after one year
MY 2119:
->26/27 minerals, CP incomplete
->27/27 nutrients, base size 2
->2+2=4 energy over two years
MY 2120:
->4 mins in mineral box, CP complete, base shrinks to size 1
->Base size 1, which means 27 of the 18 required nutrients to grow are accumulated. Naturally base directly grows to size 2. Nutrient box is made empty, making us lose 9 nutrients. Four new nutrient are added in the box. Result: 4/27 nutrient, base size 2
->6 energy after 3 years
New let's see what the monolith setup gives...
MY 2118:
->22/27 minerals, CP incomplete
->22/27 nutrients, base size 2
->4 energy after one year (two extra from the monolith compared to the other situation)
MY 2119:
->28/27 minerals, CP complete. 1 min goes to next production item. Base shrinks to size 1.
->22 nutrients accumulated from previous turn. However only 18 are required to grow to size 2. Thus base directly grows to size 2. Nutrient box is made empty, making us lose 4 nutrients. After that 2 more are added, putting us on 2/27.
->8 energy after two years
MY 2120: Let's run another year to compare with the other situation.
->6 minerals added to the mineral box, giving an end result of 7.
->2 nuts added, to 4/27
->12 energy after three years.
So when making the comparison:
If we continue working the nutrient square:
->CP ready in MY 2120
->1 min in mineral box
->4 nuts in nutrient box
->6 energy accumulated, probably 3 credits and 3 labs.
If we work the monolith:
->CP ready in MY 2119, one year earlier
->7 mins in mineral box; 6 more than the other worker setup
->4 nuts in nutrient box; no difference
->12 energy accumulated over three years. Due to our eco/labs/psych settings, the extra 6 energy will be labs. Multiplied by 1.2 (due to +2 Research SE setting) this gives us an extra 7.2 labs compared to the other setup.
So we lose nothing by switching to the monolith. In fact, we should have switched two years back for optimum result. Now we're just wasting nutrients, minerals and energy.
