"During a conference call with analysts and journalists, the Chicago-based carrier also said it had converted orders for Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners to 787-10 models, a move that defers the delivery date to 2022 and beyond from 2017 to 2018 currently."
United Airlines capacity to rise next year; converts 787 order
"United Airlines said it is looking for used aircraft to adjust capacity and lower its capital expense, and noted it had recently purchased two used 737-700s from a leasing company that it declined to name. (Reporting by Alwyn Scott, Editing by Franklin Paul)"
From the chart below there are no backlog for 787-8's so this mean there are some option aircraft moving to a firmed order number for 787-10's from optioned 787-8's classification or they are taking from outstanding 787-9's not yet delivered which they have in abundance at this time , counting that still has 25 787-9's net yet delivered. Reuters likes to confuse sometimes when not fact checking.
