I also spoke with their supplier and was told due to Covid it could be possibly anywhere from 16 to 24 weeks. In short I would not order double pane at the moment at least until the Virus is somewhat stable.
The only way I would pay half up front for a custom product would be if they can guarantee delivery within 60 days, and I could use a credit card. If they didn't deliver, I would dispute the credit card charge. There is no logical reason that the contractor needs the money that far in advance. They may have a materials backlog, but the fabricator is not going to spend more than a few weeks to fabricate the windows.
