Colombian ID card

Today I went to get my new Colombian foreign ID card, the "cédula de extanjería", at Migración Colombia (former DAS).
They had said I could get it in 20 days and the time had come.

The attendant handed over a piece of printed paper and said "This is your temporary ID card. Come back 15th of January to get your real one."
"What? 15th of January? In six months? That is a very long time! Why?"
She explained that the company that previously had made the plastic cards for the immigration authorities, had some problem and they had to change company (or something like that).

Six months to get a new company to make plastic cards? Come on, Migración Colombia, is this stone age? I thought we were getting forward in this country!
