No, probably not much actual advancement as we might understand it (and slower, certainly). But a change of viewpoint could just as easily change the plan - you only have to look at Bryn Celli Du, where the stone circle/henge was destroyed to build the chambered tomb. Or a local escalation of a status competition ("they buggers at Marlbro have built a roight big mound"). Even an increase in ambition, over successive generations, or a desire to build upon what their forefathers had done. Lots of reasons why the plan might change over time, without negating the completeness of the original scheme.
Absolutely. And I've always thought that its purpose was instigated right from the completion of the main primary mound that held all the important 'ingredients required to set that into motion. I can't believe that it didn't actually become of use until completion 100 + years into the future.
