The windows/seats was completed on time, the last (units 91005, 91049 and 93002) on 3/6/12, which was the aim ("before the Olympics").
The cab end mods/replacement is a separate project and will continue for some time yet. I think there has been a pause during the Olympics and may not have restarted yet?

That was done a year or so back (maybe even a little longer).

I was on the 7th car the other day and there was a cab end on the 6th car. Looking through the end of the 7th car in to the cab I noticed the door opened whilst on route. People from the other car were looking through from their seats. After about 2 minutes the force of motion got its way and slammed the door shut.
All this points me to a couple of questions...
1) How easy are these doors to open?
2) Why would the door open by itself?
3) Why is it that on most 92ts the emergency glass panel to open the door is simply removed?
Moving away from the above...
There seems to be a bit of track work going on at Leyton and possibly elsewhere, seems to be very small sections of track being replaced here and there. Would I be right in thinking that they are making the track continuously welded all the way through? There used to be track joints at Leyton but not any more...

1) There is a mechanism to open the J door in an emergency, as you have identified in your 3rd question. I do not know how it works, never having had cause to peer behind the piece of card, but on other tube stock, it's simply a handle to be turned
2) For the same reason as an R/S door, perhaps? Driver changing ends didn't close the door completely?

The driver would have heard the J door alarm go off surely?

Had the driver left the door open, the intruder alarm would presumably have sounded as soon as he opened up his cab, causing him to ignore it

Some inter car doors can be hard to open while some can be hard to close, quite possibly this was left open when the TOp was changing ends up a siding or it could have been left open by a train maintainer before coming out the depot. The inter car doors are not linked to DTS so if one is open it won't show up.
There's no alarm for J Doors being open, it just appears on the DTS screen and unlike the other cab doors (M, N & O) this won't stop a train in ATO.

Track has finally been replaced at Bank EB, the previous track was worn down to the wooden sleepers. Now there are no loud screeches when the train comes in, noise levels have probably more than halved. Win.

I take that back, within 1 week it's now just as noisy as it was before. Perhaps the existing wooden sleepers are to blame here or no lubrication on the tracks.
Put in concrete sleepers...whatevs.
