Can someone please briefly explain to me how set scheduling working in film production?

Above is a popular clip of Lynch getting frustrated at the lack of time he has to experiment and work out ideas on the set of The Return. My question is, if they supposedly “own” the sets and everything what time are they being limited by (minus actor schedules)? Was 140+ shooting days less than they thought they needed? Does Showtime have anything to do with the scheduling?
Apologies for being ignorant about this subject. Maybe Lynch’s next project has 200 shooting days (and a higher budge ($85 million)) so they have more time for brainstorming like this?
Finally, I know this is slightly off topic, but the owner of a YouTube channel known as "Obnoxious&Anonymous" has claimed that The Return was "stretched out" due to budget and time issues, thus resulting in the "Dougie sections" being filler. I know that sounds ridiculous, but does anyone here know the exact details of what went down with the Showtime controversy, because I can't seem to find any solid articles giving a direct answer. I don't think there's anyway that Lynch would add filler in, so that Youtuber is likely bullshitting. Also, that same Youtuber claimed that before The Return entered full production, he knew someone who went out to dinner with an actor that starred on the original run of TP, and that actor said that that one of the reasons they weren't going to be on The Return was because "Showtime was looking for younger cast members". Is it possible for Showtime to manage weather or not certain actors can be casted due to their age?
Cheers!
