Maybe Hachette part of the anime's production committee or something?

Honestly I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with the show, animation wise, that would require delay-causing improvements.

Sounds more like whoever was on the committee that wanted the bluray manufacturing rights has gotten cold feet and they're looking for a third party to foot the production bills...

I suppose pre-orders and/or interest were so low that they're having trouble with that. The production quality thing I bet is just an excuse for buying them time to find another partner.

I'm amazed this show got 24 eps right off the bat. I don't mind it exactly but the quality is low.

Well, according to the Amazon preorders Stalker site they're among the lowest:
*85,178位/*85,079位 ★ (***,104 pt) [*,**2予約] 2014/08/02 M3~ソノ黒キ鋼~ 1 [Blu-ray]

This show is well-written enough to keep my interest, but its drab color pallette, so-so animation quality and generic character designs really don't do it any favors. It's such a visually underwhelming series that I'm not surprised it hasn't caught on among Japanese fans.
