I think you may have a pretty good shot at a last minute repair on this one. At 14 hrs, the yellow buck becomes available at 9.8 hrs in. Let's say you miss a bit and call it 10 hours. Maybe you didn't start building them all right away, say it took 4 hours from when this structure appeared. I know you sped up the construction and upgrades, so you should get 7 and possibly 8 collections before this structure goes away. If you get an 8th collection it will be down to the wire, so let's say 7 for sure. My preliminary data with hot dog stands showed the shortest run so far collecting cycles before a repair is 8 collections. I strongly doubt that new structures are immune for 7 cycles, I just think that the probability is low. I think, with your 43 attempts per cycle, it's quite possible we see at least one repair at the 7 attempt, and I hope we see at least one at the sixth, though, even if the theory in my head is right, the probability is probably against.

...But that 7th collection.... I think we may see one. I don't know if you were quick enough to get 8 collections in, but I'd really bet we'd see some then.
