Thumbs down MK103M Question

The motorkanon type of MK103, “MK103M” delayed the development and could not enter production. Therefore Bf109s and Ta152s never carried MK103 as the motorkanon.

I wonder why MK103M took so long time for the development, and what the difference between MK103 and MK103M. When googled, I found game BBS postings saying MK103M had modified gas duct and no muzzle brake, but I couldn’t find books or documents supporting the postings. Also, I wonder such modification, not affecting the canon mechanism itself, need so long time.
