Do you hyphenate a year and a half?
“A year and a half” is a noun clause which doesn’t require hyphenating. Were it an adjective, where the author might want to make it clear that he was trying to refer to a single unit of time (“There was a year-and-a-half delay”), one might make a stronger case for justifying hyphens.
