Given restrictions on what you can build in runway approach zones and the existing wetlands in the area, I don't know that there's anyplace you could move the yard lead to (or the yard itself), but perhaps you could see a real shift in the rest of the track geometry.

You never want to box yourself in with a transit terminus - always leave the possibility for further expansion. So, I could see a two track aerial structure north along Autopilot Dr, but then transitioning into a one-track yard lead at grade, but not within the Greenway center median - if that makes sense.

There's also the question of whether any of that would actually save costs. Obviously, if it doesn't, then just build it as planned and have the yard lead be the end of the line.
