the language seems pretty clear

I think that the point you may be missing is this: authorization vs. action. Regardless of how the law seems to read to a lay person, congress passes laws that authorize other branches of government to do various things. The legislative branch does not initiate action in either the executive or judicial branches. They authorize it and they fund it. Then the other branches take action that has been authorized and funded according to practices in those branches--they take action based on whatever triggers are part of their practices. In this case, the plaintiff has to initiate the judiciary's doing what it has been authorized to do by congress. The plaintiff apparently failed to do that.

I'm no lawyer, but I have operated in the executive branch in a role where I have had to interpret authorizations. You have to understand the parameters if you are going to swim in the pool.
