I have a project that registered using LEED-CS v2.0 in 2007. The project was completed in 2009 and while they never received a final occupancy permit, they moved a tenant into one floor (of three) in 2010. The team documented quite a few design credits and all of their construction credits on LEED Online and would now like to finish the certification process. Has it been too long or can we continue to document and submit despite the time lapse and the partial occupancy? The other option would be to pursue certification using EB:O&M but my client would like to avoid that if at all possible.

Jodie,
Based on the LEED Certification Policy Manual (https://www.leedonline.com/irj/go/km/docs/documents/usgbc/leed/config/te...), it looks like you have to submit for your construction phase review within two years of substantial completion. I suggest following up directly with GBCI with specific dates for substantial completion and getting the official decision from the horse's mouth for your special situation.
