None... the whistle blower has nothing to do with it. The delays are
all due to systems integration problems...

What is your source for that information?

Here's one article:

Of course, it could just be a Boeing "cover story."

What do you know about Weldon? His comment to the FAA sounds like he
was unhappy with the lack of regard Boeing showed his engineering
analysis, and when he retired...

"Retired"? Not hardly.

"Weldon was fired in July 2006. He alleged in a whistle-blower complaint with
the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that the firing
was 'retaliation for raising concerns throughout the last two years of his
employment about the crashworthiness of the 787.'

"But according to a summary of OSHA's findings, Boeing told investigators Weldon
was fired for threatening a supervisor, specifically for stating he wanted to
hang the African-American executive 'on a meat hook' and that he 'wouldn't mind'
seeing a noose around the executive's neck."
