I think they thought the guy was over-promising on a sped-up time line without really taking into account how difficult the job could be. Just hits the button on his laser measurement tool a few times and wants them to believe he can get it done fast because he built a tunnell to El Paso. Gus liked the other guy because he took into account all the limitations and potential obstacles of the digging like that. And the German never promised a completion date.
