This comparison makes no sense at all since both factors: the huge delays for nuclear and small delays for solar are direct results of policy. So countries going for nuclear will do the going by removing those hurdles

It's not policy it's physical logistics. Just building the roads to the site where you want the nuclear plant takes months and it's hard to transport anything else to the site before you have those.
You also need to sign thousands of workers who need to be physically on location, meaning you need housing, parking, plumbing, salary administrators, doctors, catering, janitors etc.
Solar is entirely trivial by comparison. Any small town has enough carpenters and electricians to assemble megawatts of capacity in weeks. Which is why it grows so much faster than anything else.
