How did the malfunctions of the Boeing Starliner and the initial SpaceX vehicle impact the astronauts' original mission parameters and timeline?

The extended mission, initially caused by the Starliner's malfunctions (helium leaks, thruster failures, valve issues), forced the astronauts to remain aboard the ISS until a replacement SpaceX vehicle arrived. Their prolonged stay enabled them to complete experiments and spacewalks; however, it also led to further delays due to additional issues with the SpaceX rocket scheduled for their return. This demonstrates the inherent risks and unforeseen delays in complex space missions.",
